This is a valid use case in every app and as we saw in lots of frameworks. As for functions, i do not like the idea of having functions around for this kind of operation, it will bring about the return of "utils.php" and i don't think that's worth. So while i agree not everything needs a core implementation, this does not fall under that case. > > -- > Alex Aulbach > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Rafael Dohms PHP Evangelist and Community Leader http://www.rafaeldohms.com.br http://www.phpsp.org.br
