The problem is that PHP generates fatal errors too often, and I have not been able to find a way of trapping them. It also means that I am not able to generate an error-message of the requiered form, e.g. something like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <my_reply> <my_error> Internal server error </my_error> </my_reply> What I do not need, is something like <br><b>Fatal error</b>: XML parser error 7: mismatched tag in <b>/var/www/[...] And returning nothing would be even worse.

Because many functions generate fatal errors instead of simply returning false or generating a warning. I have tried using the set_error_handler(), but it only traps warnings and notices. It is possible that I am doing something wrong, so if you can give me a short working example, I should be really grateful! Svein Roar
