C++ is very flexible, yes. But everytime I came in touch with C++ the convention was to "think object-oriented" and use OOP as much as possible: MFC programming, for example. Some books I read showed up examples of "bad style" C++ programming (essentially procedural, C-like code) and "the correct way" (object-oriented). I'm sure you are much more experienced than me so maybe I'm wrong here. Don't you see a difference in the role and power of OOP in PHP and other languages like C++ or Java?! But let's get back to the thread's topic: I only said that re-assigning $this is a bad. In fact it does not even matter what language I consider to be OO... -- Ferdinand Beyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
