There is a potential problem with the way track_errors and $php_errormsg are used in PEAR. In PEAR.php there is an ini_set() call turning on track errors, which is fine. But in several other files there are subsequent calls also turning track_errors on and then tragically ini_restore()ing track_errors - which set's it back to what the php.ini has set. This is can become a problem when the php.ini has track_errors off - as my server does and is the PHP default. What I was doing to find this was to connect to MySQL (which is where the ini_restore() is called in my case) and then (through XML_Tree::getTreeFromFile()) call XML_Parser::setInputFile() on a non-existent file, which would promptly inform me that $php_errormsg is undefined. The only files that are setting and restoring the track_vars are : DB/fbsql.php DB/mysql.php PEAR/Registry.php Could the calls in these files just be removed ? Blair
