Re: parent_ctor()

w>> > Well, first of all Zeev already added parent:: so you can stop ranting :) w>> w>> erh ... view bug 5377 about the problems with current inheritance Well, there's too many text for understanding what's the problem. I really don't believe somebody will ever have time to read all this except for historical reasons. What we need is not PHP object system bashing (which takes up to 80% of all text in #5377) but a summary of what really do you want. As for reference serializing (second thisn in #5377)- it's most probably is out (unless someone finds a good way to do it). References are too internal concept to be included into serialization. You can use hashes for the same thing. You don't require C++ to preserve pointers when serializing data - you write your own functions to do it. Do this for PHP too. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
