Should be easy to do if it is. I am not clear on exactly what MS considers the start, stop, or end of an application... > onSessionEnd(). I have never seen a use for onApplicationEnd() or even Session end should be duplicable. Application end should be duplicable. There is a register_shutdown function or something like that in PHP. > My main concern, having had to suffer ASP & VBScript for a while is the > namespace clutter with PHP -- post vars, get vars, cookies & environment > all in the same namespace seems very cluttered to me. :-) Plus each Namespace clutter? You'd rather have: print myapp::arewe::thereyet::posted::dosomething than have something simple like: print $dosomething; Seems like I am missing something yet again... I don't believe in this OO garbage, if you haven't noticed ;) (I think in a cluttered, yet ordered manner, though.) It is handy at times. But, it can quickly overcomplicate what should be very clear, concise program flow. KISS method. I like PHP exactly the way it is in this regard. The PHP language is almost perfect in its intended environment. Where OO is useful, PHP usually implements it. ,David Norris World Wide Web - http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1652/ Home Computer - http://illusionary.tzo.cc/ Page via mail - 412039@pager.mirabilis.com ICQ Universal Internet Number - 412039 E-Mail - kg9ae@geocities.com
