So let me understand how this works. Someone ask for help, no matter what version they are using or function that is currently in place. We slam them. Call them an idiot. Not that they ask a question about a function in the CURRENT version. Yes the documentation does fully express the function is depreciated, but let's deal with the now. So let's NOT answer the question? (Hello, welcome to MICROSOFT) I am very glad 90% of other languages that have list don't have the same approach. They would gladly give you the answer, but then go on to express how they may suggest this (with example) because it is (safer, easier, ect...). Every time I see someone give a simple answer in an approach to help them learn, in comes the marching band of ignorance and they are toting the banner of epic fail. This is a list to help people understand php and grow the community and knowledge base of its inner workings. If you want to answer at question please at least use SOMETHING that is conducive to educating them. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
