implemented in ZE2. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-28 06:30:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will be dealt with with the new version of the Zend engine. The timeframe is a few months... so please stay tuned... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-27 18:05:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] for example: class { private: var $myvar; var $myvar2: public: var $myvar3; function myfoo() { print "the variable is : " . $myvar } } will be converted "on the fly" by PHP interpreter to class { var $myvar_993679346; var $myvar2_993679346: var $myvar3; function myfoo() { print "the variable is : " . $myvar_993679346; } } Note that 993679346 is the time stamp got by time(). PHP interpreter when it starts up will store this timestamp value in a global var and use it throught to mangle all the private variables declared in all the classes in all the files.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-27 17:47:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a good idea. It is extremely easy to implement private, protected variables in classes. PHP can use the name mangling of variables to implement private variables in classes. This technique is used by python language. What you do is - PHP will read the class and simply change the variable names to <variablename>_timestamp. Where timestamp is unique id got by time() function. Classes need private, protected variables. What do you say?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11756&edit=1
