Throwing warnings on perfectly working code is really a bad idea. It annoys users, slows down their code, and doesn't add any value at all to them. It should also be noted that many of the function names that people don't think are consistent are actually quite consistent when you consider that PHP is just a thin wrapper on top of underlying libraries. Functions from libc like tempnam() and strlen() are perfectly fine. The fact that you can go to your Linux command line and type: "man tempnam" to get a good idea of what is happening behind the scenes of the PHP function of the same name is a good thing. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
