I didn't notice Sam's above post abut C and C++ before. Unlike PHP, C and C++ require you declare your variables. Any locally declared variables have precedence over globally defined variables and so there's only risk of confusion if you forget to declare your local variable. This clearly puts usefulness of C/C++ globals and PHP globals in different arenas. Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
