PHP has long since spawned into something uncontrollable. Compare the number of functions (and its aliases) to eg Ruby. The string functions in particular are absolutely bloated, eg ltrim, trim & rtrim - WTF. Why not just have trim() and have the option of specifying whether left/right/both? The same goes for the case-sensitive and case-insensitive versions of functions. -- Crayon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
