Oh cool there's a club, lol!? Why, thanks for having me! I'm a card-carrying member. Let me just add this to my wish list which now includes: 1. Namespaces

jury is out opn this one - possibly php6, don't hold your breath.

2. Native Unicode 3. Late Static Binding

coming to php near you in the foreseeable future.

4. Threads

when hell freezes over.

5. Upload Progress Callback

someone is currently taking another look at a possible patch for this - you may get lucky.

You've given me better vocabulary. I didn't realize the term was 'late (runtime) static binding'. That sounds so cool. I'm gonna try to work that into my everyday conversations ;-).

dunno how correct the term is but that's what's been bandied about on the internals mailing list - I figure those froods know better than I do ;-)

Damnit, I need PHP 8 already, lol ;-)

help write it maybe :-P
