An easy way around that is to make the color private and expose it's constituant parts (R, G, B) as pubic properties. A leaner way to do it would be to implement your own custom serializer for your class. See this[^] for a quick explanation and sample.

You need to look further into your site navigation. I went to the Achetez page, chose an area etc and searched. Then, other than the browser "back" button, there was no way to return to the map and the choices to change or refine my options. I had expected to click "Achetez" on the results page to go back to the map etc. page. I suggest a good technique to learn (but do not ask me how!): Take a few steps back and look at your site from the position of someone who knows nothing about it. I know that is easier said than done. I hope this helps. P.S. I like your sig. It reminds me of a former colleague (we're both engineers) who said: I want a computer that does what I want it to do, not one that does what I tell it to do. :laugh:

Hi John, John Moore's excellent macro photographs of insects (non-profit personal site) in the Chiang Mai area of northern Thailand (where I live). Imagine a few of these appearing in your house :) ThaiBugs.com[^] best, Bill "The greater the social and cultural distances between people, the more magical the light that can spring from their contact."

funny, I like the referance to "scary devil monastery" as a referance to alt.sysadmin.recovery... have to remeber that. MrPlankton

Done.

SQLi is best handled using the database's native escaping routines and not just relying on addslashes() -- there is actually a way to circumvent addslashes from what I remember. Filtering is probably a good practice as well. To avoid escaping, you could just use PDO and prepared statements which handles the escaping for you automagically as well. I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.

PHP does have limited locale support, I think PHP 6 primary focus was full unicode support and namespaces. :P PHP can be used (and is used) to power everything from small scale to massive enterprise applications. What I like about PHP and open source (when done properly) is the flexibility in picking what parts I want and assembling those parts into my own custom tool chain. I'm not forced into using any one framework. In fact, I wrote my own (derived from Zend & Symphony) but I have some Zend classes and a few others to boot. PHP is a great environment. My only rant about PHP would be that it's so easy to learn, any dummy can buy a book and in 30 days claim to be PHP/MySQL/OOP expert and compete for the same jobs I do. :P Cheers :) I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.
