again, your recall is weak and with a little investigation on your part, you
could keep yourself from embarasment. the documentation simply states that:

======
This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including
the names of its functions and anything else documented about this
extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this
extension at your own risk.

======

now, does that sound *ANYTHING* like what you just dribbled from your
keyboard?

more like an example of the twainian proverb:

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool
than to open it and remove all doubt.

which is what the bulk of your posts consist of...opening your yap and
removing all doubt.
