It does come across as as an attempt to hide the 'strict parameter typing' which is something that is very much less attractive. If I wanted that then I'd simply switch back to C/C++ direct which is perhaps where we are now heading anyway with the increasing use of pre-compiled application code? One of the reasons I persist with PHP is the fact that many of my users can adjust the odd PHP file correcting sequence or modifying text without having to learn the intricacies of formal programming. It's adding all these complex layers that is taking PHP away from it's more novice friendly base ... If you want a formal programming language then just use one? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
