Note Submitter: ben at _idataconnect dot com ---- I think another thing that people aren't understanding about this is that PHP doesn't use pointers like C. The way you can treat string variables as arrays seems to be added for convenience. Like someone posted earlier, you shouldn't rely on the language to hit an error and end the loop. If you do things like that and someone changed the way PHP (or any language) worked with those kind of errors, your program just might not work anymore.
