Well, if things don't behave diferent depending on scope then why private exists anyway? And the scope is being controlled already, that's why i get an fatal error, right? If the method is private, why it simple don't "think" it doesn't exist when outside of class scope? Maybe it don't make sense but... class foo { private function bar() { } function __call($f,$a) { echo "called $f"; } } $a = new foo; // There ( ouside the class scope ) ... // ... this exist as much ... $a->bar(); // ... as this, right? $a->bar1(); Even if it looks like a mess... it makes some sense, no? Unless u say me that a class isn't a scope because I never understood the php scopes, maybe u can recomend me a good article about it or some link somewhere > Also there would be no way to know you're calling a method you're not > supposed to call (unless you trigger an error yourself). > > -- > Wbr, Antony Dovgal > -- Thanks by your attention, Diogo Neves Web Developer @ SAPO.pt by PrimeIT.pt
