The method I expose isn't a hack. Sorry though, I didn't take php5 exceptions into account before posting in here. I always use the great bug-free & krash-proof Debian Stable for production servers, and really prefer to stay with the official default packages (understand: php4). Of course, since Debian has a _very_ strict testing cycle before accepting anything in its stable distribution, I don't think we're gonna see php5 arriving before a long time... Maybe, I'll give it a try, compiling from source, or installing some unofficial package, but honestly, only _one_ segfault and I'll downgrade. But... as the Linux Kernel development remains active for the 2.4 series (I like provocative comparisons ;-), shouldn't PEAR continue to provide helpful features for php4 ? -- og
