I still have a major problem with the whole basis of your re-naming ... adding the underscore at all. It was this introduction which was totally wrong in the first place and I would rather rename the incorrectly renamed functions if only to make them consistent with what is used in the OO 'standard'. $main->phpVersion() or phpversion() Is consistent if one maintains the case insensitive rule. Adding str_ in front of every string function where a lot are IEEE protected is just adding confusion. Where these map to an OO API in my book strcmp() $str->cmp() makes sense? Adding an extra $str_cmp is simply not necessary. Simply dropping the poorly formulated 'add underscore' rule which only currently exists on the procedural interface and tidying up the mistake caused by that produces a MUCH shorter list of changes and allows much better consistency with even the existing OO interface elements? I look at the 'tidy' gd interface and simply think 'what the ****' Yes there are some inconsistent names, but in general imagecolorallocate and $image->colorAllocate is more in keeping with the other graphics libraries. YES there is room to create a more consistent procedural interface, but my original question still applies "consistent with what rules?" -- 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
