This now also means that PHP is making its inconsistency a fact and it will never ever be able to reach the consistency level it should be at... Specially, if more and more people believe this. I'm not sure this is the good approach in programming and neither is really a fact, but who am I to judge this state now. It would be good to avoid having FAQs and appendixes in coding standards for those function_name_ext_SomethingElseOutofblue() cases so that it might be still achieved one day. -- Peter Kokot -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
