Re: Redeclaring functions

Arve PHP has variable function names: $myfunc = "this_is_a_func" ; $foo = $myfunc( ) ; This way, you can make a single function call access a number of different functions at run time. You can't change the declaration, but you can change the call... You don't really say what you are planning to do, but I would have thought this approach should meet most requirements. I find it very useful. Also, as I am sure you know, there are a number of ways of making the number of parameters dynamic - probably the simplest is to standardise on a single array as a param, and stick any values you need inside that. I find that PHP is great for very late binding - there is usually a way if you look for it...
