Or Ruby where instead of the dollar sign for the global variable you use at-mark :) (The dollar sign is another scope, and C-like prefix-less vars are local :), Correct me if I am wrong) Well, in a way it is right to have this, but in a way it get things more difficult for newbies to start. I prefer PHP handling variables the way it does right now. Maybe something like what is suggested can be optional, but I don't think it is really doable as to be "an option". -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.PHPBeginner.com // where PHP Begins -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
