But wouldn't it be nice to see things like this in the error log when E_STRICT is activated. I know some programming languages and i ever have dreamed about some features like this in PHP5 and the main thing i was dreaming about was strict declaration. Now since PHP5 i have thought about programming PHP again because of features which would help me debugging my code. And this is not implemented perfectly. I have some days ago allready posted a PHP5 issue which i thought that it should be catched from the internal error handling with E_STRICT on. You can see it here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/php/msg117368.html Thanks, have a nice day. Johannes Findeisen
