There is the Windows compatibility issue, that I accept. As for extra security in general that should be put in manually and in-between when what happens is as undramatic as a manipulation of a string - ha! - i.e., something that is 100% safe - I'm not convinced that actually adds security ... Maybe a false sense of security :P Maybe the functions are useful for other things as well tho, that's another thing, if so. Don't know what functions this refers to specifically, please provide a list for paths and URLs and I'll check my material... -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
