Don't think there is such a thing, but you could generate one by combining the pid, timestamp and the script filename, maybe into an md5 hash value or similar. Thinking about it, "ip.pid" would be enough, i.e. 127.0.0.1.12345. The IP and pid will not actually change... It's just me surfing to my own app (or one I inherited) on my own desktop. Apache isn't getting nearly exercised enough to need a second child, so the pid is the same all the time... Guess I'll have to create one as Eric Butera suggested... Seems kind of odd that there isn't some kind of script/thread/M_INIT/R_INIT id hanging around and exposed that developers could use. [shrug] I don't find that odd since there's on external context to such an ID other than that which you create within the script so you can just use something randomly unique. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I suppose if nobody else has better ideas you can fake it with setting some sort of unique value and combining that with __FILE__ for your instance run.
