This is conceptually easier to implement in Python because a module is its own namespace. In PHP, the "stuff" that is included from another file has no such common organization. > In PHP, even workarounds are tough to create reloadable modules for > scripts, so, what other means are there to reload includes, and > redeclare functions? If it's not already safe to include() your file multiple times, I don't think adding a reload() function to PHP is going to improve your situation all that much. The engine would have to do a fair amount of work to figure out how to "reload" the contents of the external script. -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
