A FAILURE return value in this instance would let the caller know that the exception was raised. i actually think this is the cleaner way to go. l0t3k "L0t3k" wrote in message news:20030413040828.37736.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > zend_parse_parameters_ex has the "quiet" flag, which helps greatly, but > im left without a nice message to include with my exception. is it possible > for some variation of zend_parse_parameters which passes back the error > message ? id rather not pass back a generic message. or am i just being lazy > > > l0t3k
