That document is rather out of date and it's on my list to update soon, but yes Drupal is still largely procedural. Even as we are adopting more OO code in version 7 (code freeze was yesterday!) and will undoubtedly use even more OO code in future versions, there are many use cases where functions or dynamically-called functions are simply a better solution in PHP than classes. For that reason I am very very much in favor of this functionality, although I have not yet looked at the specific implementation here. I'll try to do so soon, although I not really qualified to comment on the C code itself, just the API. -- Larry Garfield la...@garfieldtech.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
