Major WTF. Imo overriding built-in functions is a WTF... Confusing others by changing the behaviour of well-known functions just sounds scary. However, when you really want to do this, than you can load your functions like before > Also leads to two autoload calls (one most probably resulting in exhaustive > include path search) when autoloading a non-namespaced function. Pretty bad > idea IMO. Please read my other mail completely: - Developers will get used to namespace everything of their stuff to avoid name conflicts (_exactly_ like it is for classes already) - Usually more than one function is loaded at once, thus you will probably safe other autoloader-calls later on. This means, there will be two calls to the autoloader _only_ when the function does not exists at all. In this case you have other problems than the two calls. > > -- > Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect > SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ > (408)454-6900 ext. 227 > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
