Yep. I was thinking mainly of methods not of static variables. I still think this:: is the best way (better than class::) At 12:12 PM 3/2/2006, Jeff Moore wrote:

Do you expect significant BC breakage?

Hello Andi, Here is an example where changing self to late binding would change behavior: class A {

        static $a = "hello world";
        static function getA() {
                return self::$a;
        }

} class B extends A {

        static function dosomething() {
                echo self::getA();
        }

} B::dosomething(); If self becomes late binding, the location of self::$a jumps from A to B, where it is undefined. Is kind of thing significant in the wild? I don't know. Regards, Jeff
