Since the list of spiders grows every day, a web service or some other mechanism for updating the list automatically would be ideal. The search string regex for all known searh engines would be very useful too. -Derek Look here for Free PHP Classes of objects: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/ To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: php-objects-unsubscribe@egroups.com Yahoo!
