(This is not a >vote, I just state my opinion :) I am -1 for a Utility package. Reason being many packages will start to depend on that one, only to use of 1 or 2 functions max. IMO, the less dependencies between packages, the better. Especially when it is related to static functions which can be copy/pasted from PHP manual comments into the package code directly. Furthermore, this might the kind of package that will end up full of "if ($phpversion > x)", etc. Makes me think of the Validate package, where there is no logic, just a collection of functions. Don't want to sound negative, I just state my opinion as well. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
