I have sugestion, how PHP should treat errors in the output_buffered scripts. If error occures in the main loop (not in the callback function) ,all output of the script with error or waring messages appended SHOULD be passed as parameter to callback_function... If error occures inside the callback_function, SHOULD BE at least error message send to browser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18917&edit=1
