AFAIK $php_errormsg is the last error that PHP incurred. not based on "@" "@" just silences the errors from being reported, which is a "bad thing" as error collection is done even if error_reporting is off, it is still built internally as a string, that's why developing with E_ALL and E_STRICT even on is the best practice. even notices wind up adding to the internal error/etc. string stack. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
