IIRC, something that Delphi has is the inherited() function (it's been a while since I've done Win32 development, so my memory is a bit rusty), which would automatically call the parent's overridden function with the same parameters. VERY handy for polymorphism, although it's probably slightly less relevant in a weakly-typed language like PHP. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ignacio@openservices.net>
