(by >putting <!-- >in prepend_string and --> in append string for example). Not true. All I've done in that case is display a half-completed page And hide the fact it died in a comment. Not to mention that doesn't allow For any sort of e-mailing me to let me know my cat hacked my account again (she's a smart little bugger). I guess I just really do believe that PHP's Error handling mechanism has little real use in its current form. There are Better methods of dealing with logic-errors than using trigger_error() if The only thing they are good for is logic-errors... However, If I could handle Every single error that didn't cause some catastrophe seg-fault I feel that It would add a nice capability to the language. Hence, I am still standing by my re-direct (with GET parameters for the nature Of the error :)) suggestion :) John (and his cat)
