Sorry for hijacking this posting but the one I was planning to reply to didn't show up on the list: How about another challenge, Mr Wilkes? "Try your hands at PHP" and create an entirely new 'class of real, ie not potential' programming errors with dreadful and seriously expensive consequences: SQL injection. That's what one gets when wrongly assuming that the tools are to blame for the errors the fools make when trying to use them. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
