For general purpose applications (like drupal/wordpress/etc.) it wouldn't be useful either, because they want nice and descriptive error screens instead of php fatal errors which would most of the time just result in a blank screen and some lines in the error log.
This is perhaps one of the areas that would benefit from some improvement in a PHP6 roadmap. It IS all too easy to get a blank screen already without adding more? Invariably when an ISP upgrades their PHP service a number of their client sites simply give a white screen, and in many cases the users have no idea where to go next? More verbose responses actually on screen would be a little more constructive. Performance improvements are all very well, and do have a place, but a white screen is no use at all? Certainly it's a not uncommon result these days when upgrading PHP versions ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
