That doesn't really solve anything as the argument is optional. In fact, to me it reads like the default context would be reset to nothing. $ctx = stream_context_set_default(); Doesn't look any less weird than stream_context_get_default($ctx); I do agree though. The naming convention of the stream_*() functions are extremely bad. -Hannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
