So what about removing constructors, too? $object = new class; if (!$object->init()) die; (no, this wasn't serious) > BUT even though goto is needed for non oo > generator code (compiler compilers etc.) it is a dangerous thing > that basically promotes spagetti code. But goto can also create cleaner code and other PHP features can be abused, too. I'm sure no one here who wants PHP to be a second Perl ;-) In particular for small shell scripts, where I don't want to use OO it can be quite usefull to me, and if it is documented properly I think it wouldn't do that much harm - some people already write ugly, unreadable code, this is possible without goto. johannes
