Hi here, I was wondering about 2 points: 1. why aren't the config files compiled as PHP scripts ? (sorry if they are :p) 2. why didn't you use a XML like format for these files ? It would have been easier to write scripts to manipulate these files or even use any existing XML editor. I know XML parsing is usually slower than plain text parsing, but see 1... :) Bertrand
