I like that kind of agile programming, too. But if someone like me says "come on, lets make it a little bit more easy, because returning objects from functions is some kind of unconventional; many developers will make mistakes here..." - why not? They will. I can tell by sure. Since I begun reading this mailing list I have the impression, that there are only PHP-programmers like us out there. But the fact is, that the most PHP-programmers didn't even read the manuals completly. You may say "Their fault" "Are they programmers, if they don't?", but this is first a little bit of ignorance because second this is one of the best features, that PHP has - this "nicely flow", everybody can do it. I always think of Bob Ross, when I explain PHP. But it's ok, there are no mistakes, there are just happy little accidents. :) [means: I will not complain any more] -- Alex Aulbach
