Metadata describing a data set should be standard across all interfaces. PHP has had standards on the database interfaces for a long time and writing different standards yet again for other interfaces is all I am objecting to. If you build metadata for a form that can then simply be dropped into the interface for a database or to pass into another storage method then it will be a lot more usable. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
