Hi,

I also think this a good proposal, but you might consider writing to the 
internals group, as this group is only for discussions and most of the 
people that read it are PHP users and have no idea how the language is made 
(including me).

Emil Ivanov

Hi Jared,

I think you meant to post to php-general, but I can answer your question.

***PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO PEAR-GENERAL THANK YOU***

You can achieve what you want through this kind of code

<?php

class TypeChecker
{
    private static $types = array(
        'array','bool','float','integer','null','numeric',
        'object','resource','scalar','string'
    );
    public static $singleton;
    static function init()
    {
        self::$singleton = new TypeChecker;
    }
    function __call($method, $args)
    {
        $test = new StdClass;
        foreach (self::$types as $thing) {
            $test->$thing = ${"is$thing"}($args[0]);
        }
        return $test->$method;
    }
}
TypeChecker::init()
echo TypeChecker::$singleton->string('test');
?>

However, I don't see any benefit to using static methods here.  Just use
an object.

<?php

class TypeChecker
{
    private $types = array(
        'array','bool','float','integer','null','numeric',
        'object','resource','scalar','string'
    );
    function __call($method, $args)
    {
        $test = new StdClass;
        foreach (self::$types as $thing) {
            $test->$thing = ${"is$thing"}($args[0]);
        }
        return $test->$method;
    }
}
$check = new TypeChecker;
echo $check->string('test');
?>

If you're trying to do several assertions and separate them into
classes, do something like so:

<?php
class Tester
{
    public $type;
    ...
    function __construct()
    {
        $this->type = new TypeChecker;
    }
}
$check = new Tester;
echo $check->type->string('test');
?>

No problem, it's www.dapx.com, it hasn't a lot security, safe_mode is
off for example.
If you know the right stuff from another user on the same server, you
can actually do some nice stuff :)

Clients that rely on the subject to determine if it a new thread are broken.

In fact, if you looked the headers of your email you will see a line like this

message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

my client takes that line and make a reference to it like this.

references: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

it will also create a new message-id: line.  something like this.

message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

if anybody replies to my message, the process is repeated.

Real, non-broken, email clients rely on the above lines to determine how messages belong to one another. Again, it has nothing to do with the subject line. Look at the subject line of this message.

As always it's not quite that simple. The problem is that there are no hard and fast rules regarding mail headers, so when threading you can't guarantee anything.

The "standard", or accepted reference algorithm for threading emails can be found at http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html and is, I believe, still used in a large number of clients including Thunderbird. Gmail almost certainly uses their own concoction, but it probably follows similar rules.

By default, no. But you can organise messages by thread. I don't like the way "they" display it, but I wish people would get their facts straight before passing comment on the easy target.

Hello,
    Short tags (<? ?>) are only available when they are enabled via the 
short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if php was 
configured with the --enable-short-tags option. Did you configure your 
php.ini file?

Thanks for your help everybody.
I think I'll give the other company a link to this thread for the next person 
who asks for help.
