Whenever I'm forced to work with PHP code I have a book that I like to reference. I know this isn't what you were asking, but in general I'm able to find every function, etc, I want using this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Core-PHP-Programming-Leon-Atkinson/dp/013020787X It organizes the functions really nicely so that I can just browse through approximations of what I want to do (graphic manipulations, data set looping, etc) and find the function/code that looks like will do what I want the best. Again, I know this is not what you were asking, but this book helps me in those "I know what I want it to do, how do I make it do it" times without having to wait for someone to respond to a forum or mailing list. Hope this helps. Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ Open BlueDragon Steering Committee Railo Community Distributions Gerald Guido wrote: > Thank you..
