Re: [php6] OOP resources

You don't have to do anything different there - you can still use the same API. With minimal effort, you can also make the API dual-purpose, i.e. foo_bar($foo, $bar) and $foo->bar($bar) would do the same. But it doesn't have to be that, you can also stay with foo_bar($foo, $bar) and have $foo as object. > To encapsulate resource data structure to object isn't bad idea. > but zend_list_insert is more convenient than > zend_object_store_get_object, isn't it? What would be the difference? It's pretty much the same API and macros can be added to eliminate any boilerplate code. See how it's done in intl, for example. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
