Thanks for your time and for all > the great work you do! No. The procedural API is ill defined and should *NOT* be expanded. Constructing an object is also not that difficult. It would be a good idea for you to step back from the mailing list and stop proposing RFCs every 2 days as you are frankly spamming the mailing lists with proposals that have no value and waste everyone's time. I can understand the desire to contribute back to PHP, but shotgunning proposals in the hope that one will stick is not an approach that will net you any sympathy, as you have clearly used up any sympathy people have had for you over the last few weeks. Or put more plainly, I will *personally* take the time to write a formal RFC to ban you from the project if you continue spamming the mailing list. I'll allow a *single* reply to this email before taking action. Sincerely, Gina P. Banyard
