May I suggest that for .phps you just turn line numbers on all the time, unless someone can come up with a reason not to enable them better than "that's the way its always been." Backwards compatibility is good when it affects how a program runs, but in this case I just don't see a reason not to enable line numbers.
My guess is the most common, if not the _only_ use for .phps is displaying php source code for humans to read. Maybe if you can find more than one person who is pulling .phps output into a program and parsing it then _maybe_ that might be a reason not to turn on line numbers all the time. Considering the number of people the line numbers will help, I'm not sure finding just one or two people who expect no line numbers is reason enough not to turn it on all the time. Like it is _so_ hard to just ignore (or remove) them if you don't need them. Rick -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
