Yes. As I say often I hate the behind the scenes copying. It makes somethings hard to do.Thies is only talking about performance issues, not functionality... How does this behind-the-scenes copying make some things hard to do? It shouldn't be detectable by the user at all. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
