I'd love to see a YAML parser in ZF -- though some might see it as a further rails-ification of ZF, YAML has many benefits over other config file formats (such as the readability you note, as well as deeper nesting than INI, etc.). I've seen recently that somebody is creating a YAML PHP extension, but I haven't heard of any written *in* PHP. Anybody want to submit a proposal? (I'd submit one, but my hands are kind of tied with the other framework components I lead... ;-) ) -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney PHP Developer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend - The PHP Company | http://www.zend.com/
