Not C just for opto, but basic C for the later project utilization. It's just a quick spit out of the other languages which are interpolated to C string on the page. A simple C string with everything else you want in the higher level languages. But then you decide a few php results are slow, so you use a C function. Then you decide a few python functions are slow when returning a js mouseover, so you use a js or C function. It's just a simple platform to use the higher level 'prototype' languages on. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
