That is true for PHP variables. isset is basically saying "does this variable exist", and unset is saying to get rid of it. Because properties (as defined in my RFC) are not a variable, but rather a set of methods, I do not think there would be any way to "unset" them. Like a method, once they are defined, you cannot get rid of them. Therefore "overloading" isset and unset would not make any sense here. - Dennis -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
