Taking apart the fact that there's no compilation in PHP, it also prevents capsulation and making a member variable of an object available only after it's declaration in the class (except for stdClass) is correct for me. I see this as "You can't redefine the model at runtime". > > Was this not possible because of the engine implementation of the static > properties? > > Edin -- Cyberly yours, Petar Nedyalkov Devoted Orbitel Fan :-) PGP ID: 7AE45436 PGP Public Key: http://bu.orbitel.bg/pgp/bu.asc PGP Fingerprint: 7923 8D52 B145 02E8 6F63 8BDA 2D3F 7C0B 7AE4 5436
