Agreed. Some people may actually be using $parent as a variable name, not difficult to imagine. So far parent->foo seems to be the answer. -Clint On 1/4/2013 4:23 PM, Stas Malyshev wrote:
Hi!
One other possible alternative would be to treat parent "like a variable..." $parent->foo
That would be a big BC problem and also require serious changes to handle it (look how $this is implemented - it's not regular variable at all). So $parent is probably a non-starter.
