Excellent! Just what I needed :)
I am wondering why constructors are different in PHP5. Surely anyone
coding portable scripts, would just use the PHP4 constructor
technique, as there's no guarantee that the server it needs to run on
is running PHP5. Some people have no control over what version of PHP
is installed if they are simply paying for a basic hosting account.
Fortunately for me, I have the choice between 4 and 5, but others
won't necessarilly be quite so fortunate.
Thanks for your help Peter. That's sure going to save me digging
through source code and scratching my head to to point of baldness.
Best wishes.
Daz.
