End of crash test. Put the php file in the regtests/test/suite/bin directory Put the .out file in teh regtests/test/ideals directory Then whenever the test scripts are run, there will be an error in teh compare script *until* the bug is fixed, and then it will disappear. Alternatively, the other logic could be applied, by making the the php file like so: <?php echo "Start of crash test.\n"; mycrashfunction(); echo "Crash test: the bug has been fixed!\n"; ?> and a crashtest.out file: Start of crash test. Then the compare test will not have any errors, until the bug is fixed, and then it will throw up the line "Crash test: the bug has been fixed!" as being an extra line. -- jalal --
