[...LONG disussion...] After reading through a bunch of mails this generated, I get the idea that most people here would be happier with an E_WARNING and the function not being executed. That gives: - the OOP purist the possibility to throw an exception (in a userland error handler) - the SOAP server a way to nicely recover - the API designer a way to tell the user (s)he's messed up - the "standard" programmer what (s)he's used to (PHP is quite forgiving in the way it handles incorrect argument types and usually warns about this) Attached is the E_WARNING variant, an example script and its output. - Timm
