I don't think it's clear from the RFC ... Is the resulting value intended always to return the same object independent of what has been done to the object in the mean time? A fixed 'address' for the physical data when used as an array key? If that is the case, then __toKey seems more comfortable. To me a hash is used to establish if the item I am looking at has changed since it was last accessed. There are two use cases compare the contents are the same, and access the same object later even if it has been updated. That said, the EKey value IS intended to identify objects which have changed since last being accessed ... so you can't win either way? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
