Please, no! I _hate_ hungarian notation. If things are unclear, just make your variable/function names more descriptive... Also, this what phpdoc/javadoc style documentation is fore. > > 3.

I think this is a personal preference kind of thing. There's Net/Socket.php to wrap the socket functions, but this to me is added functionality over the array functions - it keeps track of the handle for you, persistence, provides methods like readIPAddress, etc. A straight wrapper over the array functions wouldn't do anything that you couldn't do by aliasing some php functions. So if aliases are needed to add consistent names, let's do that instead. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> must... find... acorns... *thud*
