Well, for whatever it's worth, the error is correct. You're defining a function with one argument, and then calling it without any. (A quick cruise through the change log does turn up a few changes to function definition that certainly could have closed whatever loophole you were getting through before.) If you want to make a function argument optional, you need to provide a default value, as in function blutti($foo="bar") { } For more info, see http://www.php.net/manual/functions.arguments.php --- Mark Roedel | "Blessed is he who has learned to laugh Systems Programmer | at himself, for he shall never cease LeTourneau University | to be entertained."
