By your claim, class::$method() should access static property $method of class named 'class' and call the result as a function. It doesn't work that way in PHP 4. Is 'class::method' syntax supported by call_user_function() as well then? - Andrei -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
