I've had code running using ':' since before this topic was first raised. I don't see what's funny about it; the fact is that there is code alive using : prefixes; we can't simply stop supporting it. Thies' patch is simply "making things less strict", and that is not something I had ruled out, just a decision I wanted to defer. --Wez. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
