At the very least it's hard to document the correct behaviour. :) Essentially I just need to know what to write in the docs, because at the moment we don't know what the intended behaviour is. Should I just write that the behaviour of negative indices is undefined, as you appear to be implying (i.e. unimportant and therefore possibly changing at random?) -- Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> +1.604.709.0506 http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com http://www.inflatableeye.com http://www.hybrid17.com http://www.themainonmain.com -----==== Boycott Starbucks! http://www.haidabuckscafe.com ====-----
