One thing I'd love to see in here is a non-existant PHP function... function in_array_nocase($string, $array, $separator = '@#@') { $arr_str = $separator . strtolower(implode($separator, $array)) . $separator; $string = $separator . strtolower($string) . $separator; if(strpos($arr_str, $string) !== false) {

       return true;

} return false; } It's something that's badly needed since get_class* returns a case sensitive array. This is the fastest implementation (see http://pixelated-dreams.com/blog/archive/000053.html for details). Klaus
