In PHP we already disallow overriding $this, like: class A { public function B() { $this = 'hello'; // error ${'this'} = 'hello'; // error ${'t' . 'his'} = 'hello'; // works } } so agreed too, we cannot disallow such cases that can be variable with any gain, and it does make sense you cannot with $this, but if you hack it like above, then you are asking for trouble anyway -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
