Should > call_user_method be using references instead of copying the object? Hi, Not only that, you can't pass params by reference to the function. So, yes, AFAICT call_user_method is entirely pointless. Better off just using $var->$method($param) instead of call_user_method($method, $var, $param); Ciao, Andreas Pour http://www.kde.com/ : Everything KDE http://apps.kde.com/: The Latest in KDE Applications
