This is actually something I have been toying with a bit. Adding the ability to call methods on both strings and arrays. I still don't like the idea of making them real objects as the overhead and the amount of code that would need to be changed in the core and in every extension is daunting. Anybody out there have a patch along these lines? -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
