We reanalyze the production of single photons in S+Au collisions at CERN SPS to investigate: i) the consequences of using a much richer equation of state for hadrons than the one used in an earlier study by us; and, ii) to see if the recent estimates of photon production in quark-matter (at two loop level) by Aurenche et al. are consistent with the upper limit of the photon production measured by the WA80 experiment. We find that the measured upper limit is consistent with a quark hadron phase transition. The measured upper limit is also consistent with a scenario where no phase transition takes place, but where the hadronic matter reaches a density of several hadrons per unit volume; which is rather unphysical.
