But operator > overloading != OOP. Well, in my implementation it is, you can only specify operator overloading functions in a class and for now in this situation: $c = $a + $b; It'd only work when $a == IS_OBJECT; This way: $c = 10 + 10; isn't getting a different meaning. class test { function overload+ test () { /*overload + operator*/ } } This is the way it works right now.. (code is done, yes.) But ehm, the PHP OO stuff like I would be willing to add stuff to it, since I like messing around with it.. But I'd fall back on C++ features again, private vars, protected vars, public vars.. With you all loving java I figure you don't like this, do you :-) Mathieu > > Emile > > > -- > PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
