Description: ------------ Please do not use @ before include_once, like in DataGrid/DataSource.php, line 165. If you don't have XML_RSS installed (like me), the bind call from the manual example ("Example 54-1") will let the script die without any output instead of a message like this (produced without the @): main(XML/RSS.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\htdocs\pear\PEAR\Structures\DataGrid\DataSource\RSS.php on line 22 There was recently a discussion about this in pear.qa.

just be smart and do file_exists calls and proper error handling of this whole thing :-) Look at MDB2 or LiveUser fileExists and loadClass for examples.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. I completely agree. I hate that sort of silent bugs caused by @. I already did remove some of these, but forgot DataSource.php. Checking with : grep -r '@require' * grep -r '@include' * ... now gets me no result. So we should be fine. But I think that PHP is "smart" enough, and already displays a meaningful message if a file is missing. So no, I won't reinvent the wheel by checking if the file exists and so on.

well your failure then, you'll for sure get some fun fun bogus bug reports about those warnings (if SDG will ever be split up into driver packages, which I strongly suggest)

You interest me... Can you please develop your idea of splitting SDG into driver packages ? There does not seem to be many similar examples in PEAR. Why and how do you propose to do this ?
