While we have no official rules or structures for voting features into PHP, PHP being a meritocracy, that should be enough to put this RFC to bed. I'd second that. There have been a number of developments added to PHP5 in the last few major versions that offer little but irritation to main stream users. phpdoc is used extensively for documentation, and it would be nice to see THAT fully supporting these other tangents rather than simply inventing a new way of doing the same thing. Lets please finish what we currently have work rather than adding yet another layer of complexity. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
