PHP files can be named whatever you want.. Just know that they are parsed on the serverside, not the client side.. Therefore, text/php would be pretty stupid to do.. And I don't know what you mean be that <script> thing, you probably don't even understand what PHP is when you make that statement.. There's no problem with PHP.. I've done lots of binary work with it without problems.. And I do have some experience with C as well.. And with C++.. You probably just don't understand the idea of PHP.. The idea is definitly not to be another C or C++.. It's to be an easy, but powerful, webscripting language.. And it is.. -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "Jerry Miller" <gamphd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> skrev i meddelandet news:20050202212512.23769.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Is there an example of the UNIX od utility written > in PHP?
