Not all programs can control their environment, so checking those functions is basically required if you want to run on a server over which you don't have absolute control. I wouldn't say that's deprecated or a strict-violation. So I guess I'm -1: Restore them, always return false, and throw E_DEPRECATED. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
