Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: No, not with the built-in functions. Longest answer: You'll have to write your own functions/class, or find some existing ones - www.hotscripts.com, www.phpclasses.org, www.zend.com etc. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* Card readers?
