A "flag" is just something (a variable, a memory location, etc.) that stores some binary-ish information (e.g. true/false, yes/no, 1/0). It is a fairly general term and is used all over the place in the computing world. Some programmers have extended the meaning of "flag" to include more than binary data, e.g. a set or a range of values. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
