The main reason I recognise the code is it has elements I was working with carried over from the PHP4 stuff I started with and I'm still at the alternate solution ... $static1 = new Data\StaticVariable; $static1->name = 'variable name'; $static1->value = $unknown1; $static1->functionName = 'blahFunction'; $static1->className = null; Morphed into simply passing an array to the constructor ... $static1 = new Data\StaticVariable( array( 'name' => 'variable name', 'value' => $unknown1, 'functionName' => 'blahFunction' ) ); // className defaults to null Of cause the short cut at that time was to drop the names and simply count the variables, but what this replaces is all the complications of named parameters and allowed passing objects in such as '$unknown1' -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
