You are trying to take typing way beyond what PHP (or probably any mainstream dynamic language that exists now) provides. There are languages which provide static type systems capable of doing such things, but PHP isn't one of them and I don't think it should be. PHP has no static type control, and IMHO doing type safety validation at runtime does not seem to be a good proposition for PHP. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
