Yes, because that's ABSOLUTELY the way to respond to the community that has continued to support PHP. If that is what this discussion is going to degrade to, you're essentially saying "Please, gives us feedback but we're not listening." If this is the case, then I'll keep in mind and make sure it's known that bringing your issues and feedback to the PHP Devs is such a lovely waste of time and energy.

I don't want to sound negative but come on... this is getting ridiculous. Stanislav, why don't you just tell everybody that you'll stop answering because the patch will stay AS IT IS over your dead body anyway ? I think you'll save us all some time. This discussion is endless and not productive. I can't speak for anybody here but I think a vote by all people who have commit access to php-src would clarify this issue once and for all so we can just move along. But that's just my 2 cents.

Why use namespaces if you are going to do this? You are just bringing

your

classes into the global name space. The nice thing about namespaces

IMO, is

that I don't have to have a class named SQLAlchemy_Transaction. I can

just

have a class named Transaction in the SQLAlchemy namespace. I can

then

create a new object using $obj = new SQLAlchemy::Transaction.

Oh yes, sure, that must be the main point about namespaces - I can use

"::"

instead of "_" as a delimiter! Yay!

You forgot that you can also move the "prefix" in front of the class name to "namespace prefix!"

Come on, you can't be serious.

I sort of agree, I don't see how the current implementation is really useful for anything. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Nicolas Bérard-Nault (nicobn@gmail.com) Étudiant D.E.C.
