My extension uses these functions to create user classes, not internal classes - it's essentially translating a specification language into user classes dynamically. The traditional solution would have been to perform an intermediate step of translating into PHP code first, but we prefer this dynamic approach precisely because it avoids the administrative issues associated with generated code. - Mark -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
