You may use a replacement for the is_a() function: ------------------------------------------------------------------ if (!function_exists('is_a')) { /** * Check if it is object of the given class. * * This function is an emulation of the PHP 4.2 behaviour for Version 4.1. * * Returns TRUE if the object is of this class or has this class as one of * its parents. * * @access public

   * @param    object  $object     object which should be checked
   * @param    string  $classname  class for which to check
   * @return   bool    true if it is of this class or parent class

*/ function is_a($object, $classname) {

       return ((strtolower($classname) == get_class($object))
           or (is_subclass_of($object, $classname)));

} } ------------------------------------------------------------------ Include this at the beginning of your script and before any require/include statements. This should work for you. Regards Alexander
