Although, if they needed that construct, don't you think they'd realise the implications rather quickly? (most likely at the point at which everything goes tits up?! ;) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer PHP Development Services http://www.corephp.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
