A lexer splits on tokens while white space is optional. If present it allows separation of tokens. Forcing this would make whitespace a token which would be very bad. The parser then works on the tokens and doesn't see any whitespace. > Alternatively, could you provide a configuration switch to turn the > use of namespace constants in the ternary on or off?

That is no option at all becuase it would make it impossible to write portable php code. marcus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
