I was expecting the value to have some kind of meaning or divine purpose, not something so random in meaning and generation. I'll use a generated value from uuidgen with "PHP" prepended for the sake of semantics. Thanks for the response and enlightenment. Is there also a utility to generate the the logo in the required text syntax or should I just create a quick hack to get the job done? -- Dale
