Thanks Shawn!

Actually, I've given up on the PHP function, and managed to extract the info I
need from 'pFeast' class. This class uses the same code as above but with
some major enhancements.

A little bit more work on the code, and it'll be accomplishing what I need.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Andre
