I only look at the envvar to determine if I should provide coloured output. One issue though, running php.exe via Windows run dialog (i.e. NOT at a command prompt), will not load ANSICon as php.exe provides it's own console window which isn't the same as loading the shell to run PHP. MAYBE ... combining PHP with ANSICon COULD be a solution? Maybe an php_ansicon.dll extension. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
