Many apps use multiple swithces for similar purpose. Typical use is to enhance the original switch. The logining level on OpenBSD's ftpd is specified by repeating -l switch many times. I've seen examples of -l -l -l (or -lll) or more. Edin -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
