You are right with this. But sometimes it would help more to get a PEAR_Error instead of ugly notices, warnings etc., for example when you want to access a specific function where the possibility is high that it is not installed on every server... Use function_exists("yadayada") instead of @yadayada, that was my main intention. Regards Thorsten
