I looked into sources also now and it seems very easy to use. Good work. By the way - I do not like to check if return value is error object, e.g. instead of checking if $dbh->query() every time, I use both: set_error_handler('php_handle_error'); PEAR::setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_CALLBACK, 'pear_handle_error'); The code is then clearer. I hope this would work with MDB (I've seen you are using raiseError(), then it should work). Best regards, -- Piotr Klaban
