If not, then if an ISP doesn't add it then this is an alternative. Even if it is compiled in by default, it's a pretty recent extension (this is the first I've heard of it and it doesn't appear to have been distributed with 4.06), so a lot of people will have older versions of php, without this extension and in situations where they can't get access to it (either via upgrading or dl()). There are numerous examples of this (alternatives to functionality available elsewhere) in pear. -- Richard Heyes Those who fail to understand UNIX are doomed to reimplement it. Poorly.
