Which is why I targeted books currently actively being sold on Amazon ... all of which have little to do with any of the new planning for PHPX. But results produced by both google and bing perhaps indicate why there was never a windows 4,5 or 6. People are more than used to strange naming sequences, and while I would happily accept a switch to PHP'X', PHP6 may not have been distributed but it has a very real existence in development work. So I'm with Zeev, Andi and others. Searching just PHP sites, PHP7 only comes up a few times and in context of further changes to those planned in PHP6 previously. Even Rasmus has pointed out that the existing PHP6 plans documented in all those premature books, many of which are available as ebboks now, was more than just unicode, so how would a novice know if they are looking at newPHP6 or oldPHP6 material? This really is a no brainer ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
