[snip] Hell, for the past year or two, I've been replacing/writing new shell scripts written in BASH/Perl with PHP. None of them output HTML. ;) [/snip] Pretty Hot Performer Actually I had done a lot of this as well. Sometimes much quicker than SED and AWK are for getting the command line widget to 'market'. If I need a small tool to get something done I now more often turn to PHP to knock it out. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
