It uses the delta debugging algorithm, but is very much faster than delta, since it knows how PHP works. I hope its also easier to use - you basically write a function which takes source code, and returns true if the bug is still present. Its at http://code.google.com/p/phc/source/browse/trunk/test/framework/reduce/Reduce.php. You need to a copy of phc (phpcompiler.org) as well. The usage is explained in the comments. I've used it a lot, but I've only just made it work more generally. Please report any problems to me. Paul -- Paul Biggar paul.biggar@gmail.com
