Ah yes, I'd noticed that (sorry, should have said). And it'll do, many thanks. I guess what I'm also getting at is that I've seen mentions of PEAR's error-handling, and seen articles that mention how to use PEAR::Error and suchlike while using DB directly (eg http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2001/11/29/peardb.html )... but because the examples in the DB_DataObject documentation are (understandably and necessarily) simple I'm not clear how/whether to use PEAR::Error and PEAR_Error stuff in my code. I'm feeling my way through this and I guess I'm in need of some more real-world examples of code, rather than tutorial-type snippets... Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Phil
