Re: With End With

I've used the "with (object)" construct in JavaScript before and I'm assuming it would work the same, but instead of: With $obj ->methodCall(); // ugly ... it would be much sexier like: with ($obj) { methodCall(); } But its all just sugar. As far as implementing it in userland with a recursive function that merges properties, that's way to much unnecessary work. Why not just manually de-reference the object on subsequent method calls? -justin "Bdkr" <bdkr@highsidecafe.com> wrote in message news:3FD762B5.1080908@highsidecafe.com... > jason davidson wrote: > > > Ive seen the Control Flow constuct With ...End With used in VB (yup, > > VB.. :)) although im not a fan of VB, i liked the feature, is there > > any consideration to this kind of construct for php. > > here the only example if it i could find online for anyone that hasnt > > seen it before. > > http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcn7/html/ vaconusingwith.asp > > > > Aside from being VB, is there anything wrong with it. > > > > Jason > > > So how would that look in PHP?
