This is exactly how we got into this mess with $x = isset($a['x'])?$a['x']:null; We're trying to get out of this mess and you're proposing to build another mess just like that. > errors, you can't just fread the return value.

Exceptions should not be a means of flow control, and that's exactly what are you doing here. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
