I'm sorry, but this is unnacceptably ambiguous. Due to the poor design I don't know whether to duck or open my mouth for a treat. Let's make the program a bit more flexible and useful... <?php class baboon extends mammal {

    public function fling( $something, $target )
    {
        $target->flingAlert( $something, $target );
    }

    public function openMouth()
    {
        echo "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah\n";
    }

    public function evade()
    {
        if( rand( 1, 100 ) <= 70 )
        {
            echo "Pheeeeeeew! That was close.\n";
        }
        else
        {
            echo "SPLAT!\n";
        }
    }

    public function flingAlert( $something, $target )
    {
        switch( $something )
        {
            case 'treat':
            {
                $this->openMouth();
                break;
            }

            default:
            {
                $this->evade();
                break;
            }
        }
    }

} $me = new baboon(); $you = new baboon(); $me->fling( 'scooby snack', $you ); $me->fling( 'poo', $you ); ?> I love Friday :) Cheers, Rob. -- E-Mail Disclaimer: Information contained in this message and any attached documents is considered confidential and legally protected.
