Why is "\" the only available character? Right now my patch is using ":" and it's working great (though against 5.1). Is ":" used in some other way in PHP 6?

It clashes with the : in the ternary. -Rasmus

Not in my patch! I just tested the example below with my patch, and it works *PERFECTLY*: <?php namespace ns {

        class test1
        {
                public static function getMessage()
                {
                        return 'ternary test (left side)!';
                }
        }

        class test2
        {
                public static function getMessage()
                {
                        return 'ternary test (right side)!';
                }
        }

} echo ( ( time() % 2 ) == 0 ? ns:test1::getMessage() : ns:test2::getMessage() ); ?>

Are you saying this works? namespace ns { function foo() { } } function foo() {} echo true ? ns:foo():foo(); Looks very confusing to me. -Rasmus
