This has another side as well. If it was called mombamoolo then how would people know that PHP is actually providing a wrapper for curl? There have been some examples of this in the past "sattelite" and "universe" where both extensions around corba for example- and if you didn't know you'd have no idea where to look for. So I'd say that with picking a different name you'd confuse people. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org
