Your PHP book is out of date. Methods must now be declared as static if they are to be called statically, otherwise you cannot call them statically. The more important question is why the heck you would want to do what you’re trying to do? Calling another class’s constructor seems like a really really really bad idea, not to mention completely daft. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
