Since some people prefer to keep current behavior (for a while?) How about just keep current behavior until ZE2? (PHP 5?) ZE2 will break some ZE1 behavior, I suppose. Making exit() to return "return code" is nice and would be OK for ZE2. IMHO. We really need to consider removing/changing legacy feature & behavior at some point... Error Level and Message handling in current source is one other thing I would like to change :) Do you want consistent error levels, error id, localized error messges?

It's possilbe do this now, w/o much BC problem. die()/exit() is identical in ZE1. How about make them separate? If type is integer, die() for print and return exit code and exit() for only return "return code". -- Yasuo Ohgaki -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
