Believe me, I'm not doing it on purpose. I'm trying to get two different script packages to play nice with each other and I want to keep the modifications at a minumum to make it easier to update the software. Specificaly I'm talking about a weblog package (phpslash) and forums package (phpbb), as well as a shopping cart (phpshop), initialy... maybe others as well.
the class name problem isnt that bad, really. But there's global variables as well that need to be isolated. get/post vars, session vars, etc. My idea is to isolate each script, pass in the global vars that it expects to see. The overall, "parent" script would keep the variables for all the scripts under different names that dont conflict, converting them on entry to each script.
