Another option is to log to the system logs: error_log = syslog # in php.ini and use your loggers filter facilities to keep the php messages in a separate file. Again, here syslog will provide its own timestamp. -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
