Well it's better because it's a lot easier to read for one and two because the pipe is a relatively safe delimiter. Kelly has a good idea about using a tab (\t) instead, but if we want to get *really* crazy let's use something like $#*$(#*@(*$@ as a delimiter. For sure that's not going to be duplicated on accident. :) Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
