Assuming this is correct, then not only userland code should use proper prefixes, but also the PHP language core should do so, no? Speaking of this, I like Greg's suggestion about prefixing all internal classes with PHP_. While there are certainly classes out there that are prefixed with it, we could tell developers that starting with e.g. PHP 6 the PHP_* class scope is reserved for the language core and must not be used for any other purpose. - Martin -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
