Ohhh.. sorry for that. it's quite simple, i'm wondering if we can have something like those in-line functions in C++: class someCLASS {
    var $varLength;
    // .... other stuff....
    inline function length() {
        return $this->varLength;
    }
} i expect it will make PHP script speed up a bit, coding easier, etc... but not sure it will do or not. :)
What would be the difference (besides putting the word "inline" in front of the function)?
i'm not quite sure, so correct me if i'm wrong. in C++ definition, a length() statement, in this example, will be replaced directly by the value of $this->varLength at runtime, instead of passing control to the length() function, returning the value, exit and then returning control to up process. -- // Donny
