You can add the line yourself: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/php5 $ cvs add 061.csv cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/php5 $ cat CVS/Entries [...] /061.csv/0/dummy timestamp// > Also, import statements now include the class files, using a new .ini > variable, "class_path".

Please don't add new ini settings here, living with include_path should be enough, wouldn't it? > Again, the only missing feature I know of is "namespace imports".

Here's an example: > <?php > import namespace my_namespace1; > // my_namespace1 is added to a runtime hashtable > import namespace my_namespace2; > // my_namespace2 is added to a runtime hashtable > $a = new class1(); ?>> Why can't __autoload decide itself?

If not, I'll have to duplicate the code I have for > ZEND_IMPORT_CLASS in another function). In that case you should provide a function apart the import opcode handler. Since zend_vm_gen.h might create multiple handlers out of it this is anyway perhaps a good idea. This function can be used of course from both handlers and you other function. > I think this approach is the easiest and most sensible for namespace import > support.
