If somebody is really into type calculus, there are many academic languages to play with. In practice, such byzantine constructs rarely make developer's work easier on tasks that PHP is commonly applied to. If you want a language that can run code to check if your array conforms to arbitrary set of rules, what's wrong with PHP language? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
