You can do the same generators do using iterators in PHP. You'll have to store state a bit more explicitly, but otherwise it'd be pretty much the same, as far as I can see. However, in general, thinking about more complex flow control structures in fine. Just there's no reason to get exceptions mixed into it. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
