It's a bit more to type, no doubt, but I think it's more correct that way... Perhaps one day we'll have macros in PHP :)

Uhh, you guys turned down a patch that did just that, it was a preliminary version of the get_defined_vars() function which returns the global symbol table and the current symbol table. I had it so that you could then access and modify the variables returned (since it was merely a reference to the respective symbol tables), but (Andi I believe) requested that I not do this, so as it is it just returns the names of the different variables and not their contents.

Well, I'm not sure what it was back then - I'm not sure that letting people modify it is the right way to do it (IMHO it should be r/o). If it's a read only thing, I don't see any scope problems, or any other problems.. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> CTO, Zend Technologies Ltd. http://www.zend.com/
