You tried to crash it, you succeeded. Infinite > recursion leads to crash. Try it in C, you get the same. That's an entirely lame attitude. The goal here should be a stable php, irregardless of the quality of code php is running. In the case of infinite loops, recursions, etc., php can either throw an error if it is somehow recognizable, or it can simply timeout. Allowing it to crash because 'infinite recursion leads to crash' is pathetic. If it crashes, it can be fixed. Shane
