IIRC that's not the case ATM. > you can also get the ce using zend_fetch_class() API function. So the code would look something like zend_class_entry *ce = zend_fetch_class("DateTime", sizeof("DateTime")-1, ZEND_FETCH_CLASS_DEFAULT TSRMLS_CC); if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "O", &obj, ce) == FAILURE) { return; } When referencing an internal class it should be enough to do the fetch just once and cache the value inside your extension. > -- > Michael >
