No, as this breaks backwards compability. I have code written for this and that is going to be released. If the class constants are removed, you will break code that is out there. There were similar reasons why Wez didn't want to change the odd PDO method because people were running it production while PDO was not even beta - which is fine. But you can definitely not change code in a released version. Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org
