Sorry about that. I didn't mean to offend you.

Here's something you can slap me with:

version_compare() didn't exist until 4.1.0, so my conditional expression that USES version_compare is totally redundant and decreases inefficiency.

I mean, if version_compare() exists, then we know for a fact that the current version (as returned by php_version()) is definitely NOT less than 4.1.0.

The entire conditional can be rewritten without loss of functionality as (!function_exists('version_compare')).



Take care,

Oh no worries! I'm not offended! Most of the time your input/criticism is wholly merited. Many of the threads that I participate in I'm learning whatever subject matter is there for the first time, researching it, seeing what's going on so I can learn too. So don't get me wrong... I value your expertise.
