Or perhaps, which I think is even better, to have your Exception classes implement a common interface that you can catch against. That I believe should already work. What you are asking PHP users to do with a multiple catch like this, is to test in each catch's statement block to test for each class again. Neither the inheritence or implements options from the previous paragraph have that issue. cheers, Derick
