And, to verify that I went and looked it up and it turns out that's not the case in Python. They use [start_index:end_index] so [-4:2] would be the 4th char from the end until the 2nd char in the string, so for a 6 char string or longer that would return nothing, but worse, my initial guess at what it did was wrong. I don't like features where my first guess at what something does is wrong. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
