Thanks for > the (gory) details ;) I think one has really get used to this, if you take for granted that you named classes/interface this way in the past. For example, in many projects I use the observer pattern and one of the first observers implemented in almost any project is the Echo-Observer to simply echo the messages. So this doesn't work anymore either. a) You can't make a class Echo and b) you can't create an interface named Echo ... I tried using print but that doesn't work either. I'm either bumping into T_ECHO or T_PRINT. Stdout finally did it. - - Markus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHeYK/1nS0RcInK9ARApRiAKC63DhPeLY7i+QwApr/Iv4tyz4ToACgg995 uYHKxO/ToyeKxmqqXnK9RqU= =JARy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
