Some of this Syntactic sugar would in the past have been developed in PEAR, but the support for 'userland' solutions via that path seems to have lost favour, with even the suggestion that PEAR should be dropped? Perhaps if PEAR contained examples of good practice in these areas it would help. I'd even perhaps go as far as suggesting that some of the more exotic developments in core would benefit from up to date demo's of their use in PEAR? -- 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
