hi all, I'm trying to make my classes compat with php4 and php5 is there a way of doing something like this: if( version== 4)
    define( "VISIBILITY", "" );
else if (version==5)
    define( "VISIBILITY", "protected" );
class Flex {
     VISIBILITY function CompatFunc();
}

No, seems to me this is not possible. A trick i'm using is this: Class Foo { /* protected */ function Bar() {} } While I'm running PHP4, the class is as above. As soon as I'm switching to PHP5, I do a find and replace and remove the comments.... Erwin P.S. This is a database-related malinglist ;)
