Well I didn't tell him to take a hike, I merely clarified why some others might not find his question quite on topic. I didn't think my response was negative towards the OP, and having re-read it I still don't think it was negative. It was just a comment on how he might want to lower his expectations of the list when fielding a Zend question. I mean it's akin to saying "Hi I generate HTML using PHP, can you tell me how to add borders to my table?". Anyways, we answer those questions all the time and sometimes we tell the poster to go use google or yahoo or whatnot. As someone said in the past, was it John Nichel? It seems we on the PHP list are experts on everything Internet. We're asked everything from tcp to sql to css to js to ftp to insert whatever I've missed. At any rate, I wasn't going to bother responding at all, but giving all the credit to Zend struck me as wrong, and once I responded to that I thought the bottom of the bucket analogy fitting, and then, and ... well anyways :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
