Of course there is a BC problem. Current error handlers do not have to return anything. Once the patch is added, the default handler will all of a sudden be invoked, when the developer did not really mean it. I realize that the "convention" is to return false if you didn't process it, but in our case we have to invert it. - Andrei -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
