.. and as Andi said earlier, removal without loud and clear warning will break thousands of scripts out there. Making users do something special if they want to use their old code, is a much kinder option. It might also kick people into updating those scripts before the deprecated functions actually die. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
