This is getting kind of fun to read since we have unicode, perhaps we should use one of those characters ;) - I'm sure I can find a chinese character that means namespace for it ;) define('foo',1);define('bar',2);var_dump(foo<-bar); personally I would prefer ":" if it is at all feasible, (changing the parser to enforce whitespace on a ? b : c with a compile error would be a perfectly acceptable penalty. - It pales into insignficance compared to the clone() issue that has to be dealt with in upgrading PHP4->PHP5 ;) Regards Alan On Sat, 2005-11-26 at 19:50 -0500, Robert Deaton wrote: > On 11/26/05, David Zülke <dz@bitxtender.com> wrote: > > If we rule out :::, it should be <- instead. > > I'd hate to see it be <-, looks too much like ->. > Foo<-bar<-Baz::getTest()->foo(); > > but I agree that ::: should be ruled out all together, its too similar to ::. > > I'd almost rather have %% over <-, and even that looks kinda messy. > > I think if I had to, I'd pick :>, although there still isn't any that > stands out to me as "Hey, this is definately a good choice" > > -- > --Robert Deaton
