I am not so sure this is a good idea. I mean, for the developer that writes the code it's obvious that his version of DateTime is used. But for a second developer to come back later this could be a great WTF factor a few years down the road - wondering why the DateTime documentation on php.net doesn't match with what the class does. regards, Derick
