I know, we also have exit() and die(), is_int() and is_integer(), where any function can be used and there is no preference. But we also have mysql(), which is a deprecated alias of mysql_db_query(), so it is only listed in the aliases list. Well, mysql_db-query() itself is also deprecated, but it is a different story. As you said, pos() and sizeof() are the kind of exit() and die(), and as such, array.xml is the right place for them. Goba
