What do you think? Keep in mind that only somebody who's trying to buffer stuff for a particular reason will get this, not your average beginner who just writes "hello world". Such a person could easily use the error_log() function or roll their own similar function. Presumably it also wouldn't be too difficult for PHP to flush the buffers as it exits in the event that something went wrong... -- "TANSTAAFL" Rich lynch@cognitivearts.com webmaster@ and www. all of: R&B/jazz/blues/rock - jademaze.com music industry org - chatmusic.com acoustic/funk/world-beat - astrakelly.com sculptures - olivierledoux.com my own nascent company - l-i-e.com cool coffeehouse - uncommonground.com -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
