PHP was never "elegant" in this meaning - you never could do toupper($object) and expect something meaningful. I also don't see any elegancy in it - just more crypic way of saying the same thing. I see no problem at all in writing toupper($object->_toString()) - it is clear, self-documenting and error-resistant much more than your "elegant" version. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.109 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
