I know I MUST be missing something here. yes you are missing the point both Anthony and I made, that if we remove the unicode switch we would commit to backporting most non unicode features to PHP5.Which would be great for PHP5 and stone cold killer for PHP6 surely? Unless you needed Unicode. Hmmm. So whats the expected future of PHP? PHP4 old now, PHP5 much life yet, PHP6 obscure functionality only for those that know/need it. ISPs thinking its great to stay with PHP4/5 as the little guys don't need or ask for Unicode and therefore very little PHP6 take-up. -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
