First there is the problem of protected/private variables and second the idea behind is being able to specify the classname already in execute() and to pass along some ctor params. This allows to initialize instances both all with the same parameters and with values from the actual query. And it allows that inside iteraotr based access which will kill all overhaed. But you are right, we will provide special access functions for the different functionality as needed. regards marcus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
