This is better for the readability of the source, especially while working with dates or ranges. Internally two different functions are used. That sounds more logical to my mind to substract 10 days instead to add a negative span ;-). Note I have received request for a normalize add/sub method which accepts "1month 2days" or "-1year 4months", which can be added soon, as well as an OO interface. For the interface itself, I have made a merge of what we can find in others langages, like python or perl, I did not implement everything I found, but everything I currently need. One of the goals, except to enlarge the dates limit, was to provide usefull&easy to use functions. thank's for the feedback, pierre -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
