Hi!

class User {

     [NotNull]
     [Integer]
     public $id;

     [NotNull]
     [Regexp('/[a-z]*/i')]
     [MinLength(2)]
     [MaxLength(255)]
     public $name;

     [NotNull]
     [Zipcode]
     public $zipcode;

}

I'm not sure I understand - why can't you use normal data structure to keep this information? Why it has to be in weird syntax with []s that has to be accessed through reflection?

powerful frameworks which can used by a great range of developers without learning a new syntax for it. Pleas do not argue about thy syntax of the annotation because this isn't final.

Whatever syntax it is, it is definitely new. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
