Well - this is not so surprising, since PHP was originally not created to be a programming language but nothing more as a toolkit to create HTML documents. If PHP would ever invent stricter rules, most existing code would not work any longer - then most people would start to think about alternatives to PHP anyway. So PHP has to keep this "lazy" nature as long it exists :-/ -- Arno Welzel http://arnowelzel.de http://de-rec-fahrrad.de
