I think that the spirit of my original post has kind of been lost now. All that I am saying is that just because it *can* be done, does not necessarily mean that it *should* be done. At best, OP's case is a fringe case, and *probably* will cause more harm than good in his application further down the line. If those cases are not allowed (like Tuscanny) then, it is easier for OP to change one variable now, than have a huge broken debugging nightmare later on. I drew the example of SQL99 standards as I am well aware of the alarming rate at which junior developers name date fields `date` in MySQL for instance - perfectly legal according to MySQL, but a recipe for disaster later on. --Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "phpsoa" group.
