John,

Thank you very much for that clear explanation ... I had been working on a 
MIB and there was no value passed back @ all and it took so long to figure 
out the reason and it turned out it was something "not implemented yet" 
from the hardware manuf. lol. However looking @ the MIB info was eye 
popping at first ... 

Sticking w/ the subject do you (or anyone) know how snmp_read_mib in PHP5 
works?  It returns an int vs. a resource, does this just load a working 
MIB that youd like to view info about?  get,walk,realwalk,and all the 
other functions use host/community string for args.  Maybe im just missing 
something.  Im looking to parse info from the MIB description vs. the 
actual host.

Thanks again.

- Jon
