But we're in PHP-programming-context. You write a function in PHP, you call it and it will return once called. I see there no exeption. > So complaining about this is rather pointless. I don't complain about the past. I just think now, that if it doesn't behave like a function it shouldn't be called function. A function which returns as an object and is not completed is not a function. And if other languages do so, my argument will be the same. <rising finger with epic mimic, fistulous voice> We need not to make the same mistake again! :) -- Alex Aulbach
