Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Object execution
From: sirbinam@gmail.com (Jesse Binam)

For example...

--- example.php ---
<?php
class Example {
  public function __main() {
    echo "Hello World!";
  }
}
?>
--- end example.php ---

`php -q example.php` would output "Hello World!"

With this you could potentially eliminate the global scope if you
chose to. For the record, by no means do I want PHP to be Java. I just
think this feature would be a nice finishing touch to a very OOP style
app. Otherwise you basically have to have a one liner to call
something like app::run().
