The joys of a typeless language :-( I did use an underscore after Alexy reminded me this morning about array_merge(). Everything worked fine after that. That 'bug' nearly caused some very embarrasing output to be generated for members logging in - phew! Just off-hand, does anybody know if this has been logged as a "bug" for the php developers to sort out? It's stupid.
