Perhaps, then, you might use a function which would decide what to do and use the appropriate method... for ex: function foo($out) { if (USE_STDOUT) { echo $out; } else fopen($file, $mode); // write to file and close it } } Just an idea; may not be anything like what you need but I thought I'd throw it out there ;) --Toby
