As I said: this is only partly true; true if you are a Brit or a Yank ... everyone else who has alphabetics that are represented by bytes with the top bit set sees them as case sensitive in those parts. It is a BC break, but a very unusual one in that once code is fixed in, say PHP 7, it would continue to work when copies back to a PHP 5 environment. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 http://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.
