Cracking response Dan, and I agree fully with most of it. A while back I was a far more active contributor to the PHP lists than I am now (promotion == more responsibility == less spare time) and the reason I do it is because it never seems like work - it's fun!! But I feel I must correct you on one point... 2009/3/4 Daniel Brown <danbrown@xxxxxxx> > Thirdly: > > Perhaps one should check as to what the input to Google was - > > to compare and find why there might be a discrepancy.

The results returned by Google are not constant. They vary based on your location, which domain you're using, which index instance you hit and a number of other things, most of which are not public. It is more than possible that PJ did get different results to you from the same search term. Hell, I get different results on my machine than the guy the other side of the office. That was all. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/
