     if you pass a right instance of class to a function , how can that

     for example:
     function foo(Foo_Bar $a) {
     }

     how can you pass a Foo_Bar instance to function foo without

Foo_Bar class already defined?

Because Foo_Bar could be *defined* under a different name, say, Foo_Blah. Then, as soon as someone needed Foo_Bar, we would use class_alias to add an alias. That is, as soon as someone tried using Foo_Bar it would turn out that Foo_Bar and Foo_Blah are the same class and all Foo_Blah objects are *also* Foo_Bar objects and everything is cool. Therefore foo(new Foo_Blah()) would work (if there was autoload). Please see the demo I provided at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61422 Then again, at least it's consistent with instanceof. Where calling autoload by default is probably indeed unacceptable. This is complicated. -- Best regards, Danko Alexeyev, VeryPositive +371 2648 3953 danko@very.lv Skype: d.alexeyev
