From www.php.net: "[30-Jun-2002] The second alpha release of PHP w/Zend Engine 2 is now available. It is based on the current PHP 4 CVS (4.3.0-dev) and includes the new scripting engine which greatly improces the object model..." Re-reading this announcement in the light of your comment above, I can see that this does not state that PHP 4.3.0 will be with Zend 2.0. However, I haven't seen on www.php.net nor www.zend.com anything that ever even mentions PHP 5.0.0. I've hunted down everything I could find to read (including some PDF files) about the objects (and other things) in Zend 2.0. If there is such information in these public places, please, tell me where I can read it. > What is the reasoning to add aliases? IMO it just pollutes the language. I would have to agree; IMO, PHP is riddled with such aliases. However, I can fully understand & appreciate how and why most of them have come to be. I suggest them as aliases for thwo reasons: 1) I don't see any true functionality differences needed; and 2) I don't want peoples classes written with "var" & "function" to melt down when they move their code to PHP on Zend 2.0. -- Sincerely, Lamont R.
