I have to backup Ocramius here. As I already wrote, let's go for a totally normal implementation without any kind of magic. This is the only way to be safe, and the only way without adding more weirdness. All this special casing and magic only creates problems in short and long term. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
