Thanks for the review Derick! I addressed the issues you mentioned, and hopefully it should be good to go! My wiki username is Sean-Der What do you think would be the most effective way to get everyones suggestions? Continue this thread, RFC or start a new email thread? I would just like to see things like this script made more visible to developers, that warn at compile time if users are using a non-public component. Right now is there a way to know if something is going to change, or if it safe to use? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
