'.php'; } $a = new Exception('hi'); // Internal $b = new :::Execption('lo'); // Namespaced It seems that it is up to me as the userland develop to explicitly identify namespaces vs classes (I like :::), so I would have though I'd need to deal with this when I want to call my namespaced class vs a built in class. Autoload would only get called if the correctly identified namespaced class wasn't already present. If I said use the built in class, then so be it. OOI, would __autoload get "blah:::Exception" or just "Exception" ? If the latter, how would I differentiate? -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
