In PHP5: <?php class Foo { static $instances = 0; function __construct() {
       Foo::$instances++;    }
function __destruct() {
       Foo::$instances--;
}
And:
      function __clone()       {

Curt Ooops, didn't see your post, hehe...

By the way, use "self" instead of "Foo", just in case you change the class' name. -- Daniel Schierbeck
