One issue that I'm struggling with, though, is whether to roll the functionality of Zend built-in functions, such get_class(), get_class_methods(), etc, into the reflection API. Those function return simple strings or arrays and most of the time that is enough. Do you think we should have both ways of obtaining information in the new reflection API, getMethods() that will return an array of MethodTypes and something like getMethodsSimple() that will do what get_methods() does? -Andrei http://www.gravitonic.com/ * Anything will fit if you push hard enough. *
