Re: pain

You should read this: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php The magic method __call passes all the arguments pass to the function that is not there in 1 array. So every time you execute a function that is not there and __call is called <grin>, you will add another outer array. This is also not the normal way to do oop programming. Normally, you extend a class and use parent::methodName to call a parent function.
