From a marketing POV, what most people want is NOT more OOP in PHP, but actually a hostable Java. PHP is everywhere and pretty much free, when it comes to webspace hosting. Java usually isn't, because it has certain requirements for its execution environment that cannot be met in cheap hosting environments. So when users ask for "more OO" in PHP, they usually want Java and Java capabilities for the price of their current PHP site, and a migration path towards this. Since there is no such thing, they end up trying to turn PHP into Java. Kristian -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
