Personally I still view this as part of the general debate on just how 64bit integers are supported by default in new builds of PHP, in which situation, simply throwing a new operator at it is not fixing the basic fault in "(int)(3 / 2)"? Having to decided is one needs a different operator on 64bit systems is still wrong what ever that operator is? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
