Re: Re: bug of the day: $this

It won't be different in ZE2. This is not a bug though, but a tricky design issue. The problem is figuring out at runtime when to set $this or not in a method. What most people would probably find intuitive, is that $this was set only in methods called in the object, but this would require pretty expensive checks for every method call. Andi can shed more light on this if needed. - Stig On Wed, 2002-12-04 at 00:25, Markus Fischer wrote: > I think issue is/will be adressed in ZendEngine2 but I could > be wrong.
