Conditional class definition in PHP 4.3.x

Hello internals, version 5 does neither support nested classes nor conditional classes. Not supporting the former is a bit of a loss but the latter leads to ugly software design so no worry here. Anyway i tried the test script with 4.3.5-dev and there conditional classes are present but not working. Hence i suggest we disable or fix them. Further more i think we cannot fix it becasue the script mixes compile time and run time. It tries something like selfmodifying code. Since i think it is ugly software design anyways i am pro disabling. marcus@zaphod /usr/src/PHP_4_3_0 $ php -r 'if (1) {class a{function f(){return 1;}}}else{class a{function f(){return 0;}}}echo a::f()."\n";' 0 marcus@zaphod /usr/src/PHP_4_3_0 $ php -r 'if (0) {class a{function f(){return 1;}}}else{class a{function f(){return 0;}}}echo a::f()."\n";' 0 -- Best regards, Marcus mailto:helly@php.net
