As I said, PHP is not exactly C++, so while I respect your perspective as C++ programmer, I think it is important to understand that most PHP users didn't actually write thousands of lines of C++ code and thus would have different perspective, for them it isn't "the more like C++, the better". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
