I agree. I don't think we should modify the functional context at all. However, uf bundled extensions don't throw exceptions (or even worse, some do and some don't) then why did we both implementing exceptions? How can anyone rationally design an application when half of their problems issue errors and the other half throw exceptions? That's a recipe for disaster. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's php cookbook avoid the holiday rush, buy your copy today!
