I disagree, the meaning of parent:: is not changed at all relative to php 5.2.*. It behaves exactly the same with the parent forwarding patch. If you call parent::method() the parent version of the method is still called. It just provides complete polymorphic calls with static functions which is the whole purpose for which LSB was even proposed. Regardless of that, there are two other patches that do the same thing without altering the behaviour of parent in the current 5.3 code. Though again, I would think it very unfortunate should we not fix it properly and just allow parent:: to forward the caller. > > -- > Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect > stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ > (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com >
