The var issue is probably going to affect pear, I would presume the plan is to make all code 'parseable' by E_STRICT, and yet most pear packages will retail PHP4 support for quite a while. I guess well have to start doing @class { .... } :) Regards Alan Andi Gutmans wrote:

I don't quite understand the problem. E_STRICT was only meant for

who really want to be pedantic. I think we can make it not part of
E_ALL.
Is that OK?
Better. The only drawback is people who do want to be pedantic will get flooded by tons of warnings about var rather than being able to focus on real problems. Guess I'M being pedantic. :)
If they'd like to keep var then they aren't pedantic :) I'm sure that even with big apps doing a search and replacing var with public will take no more than half an hour. Andi
