Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] ctype functions in PHP 6
From: webmaster@keryx.se (Keryx Web)

Please forgive me bumping this, bit I think my questions are valid and I 
can't find authoritative and relevant info on php.net or Google.

If indeed I have broken protocol, as feared in my ending, could anyone 
please tell me so (off list in order to reduce the noise, of course) and 
kindly point me to a better place to ask these questions?
