PHP only supports XPath 1.0 (and XSLT 1.0), though count me in the list of people whose lives would be helped greatly with proper XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 support. There's a lot that's been made better since the original 1.0 releases of those standards.

Thanks! So in the example I gave, if an error were generated by mysql_query, what would happen? Would $result be set to the error that was raised? (Which would then evaluate to false and cause the "showerror()" function to be called?)

Ok, posting here is a last resort. (Apparantly you can't search for the string "@" with Google or php.net's search box. It matches everything.) What does the '@' operator mean? I've seen it in scripts and can't figure it out. The online documentation at php.net lists '@' as an operator in the order of precedence, with a link to the Types pages, but none of the Types pages has any mention of it. Niether do any of the other language syntax reference pages. (I know. I looked through them all!) I've played around with it on the php command line, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't actually do anything. Sample code I saw with it: [code]if (!$result = @ mysql_query ($query, $connection))      showerror(); [/code] Any help? Thanks!
