Thanks for the tip, I've never actually had to use a static var to store an object reference, usually I use singletons and properties or my static vars just store scalars or arrays. Good to know though, since I didn't think to check the documented behaviour... fortunately I didn't get around to posting a bug report either :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
