However I do see your point. If it fails in a nasty way (i.e. PHP errors) then perhaps a gethostbyname() call should be used, checked, and then the script dies with "no internet connection" or something similar. It just seems strange to me that someone would be using go-pear without an internet connection...Unlike most people on this list, there are quite a few users out there who use modems. AOL, for instance, does not inform you that there has been a disconnect if you have the speakers turned off. I've actually seen this error many times in daily practice, as my parents live in an area where there is no high speed available (imagine living on 26.4k connections!!). It's not that an internet connection is permanently unavailable, but many connections are simply not always connected. Greg
