Re: Multi-Method Dispatch in PHP 5.1?

Hello Jason, no. Object can be a classname, Class not. The reason gettype returns "object" is becuase an instance of a class is an object. In typehinting we deal with the class-types and for things like reflection we need a typehint that accepts any class but nothing else. marcus Thursday, April 22, 2004, 2:15:01 AM, you wrote: > Just a note, > Would "Object" be more appropriate than "Class"?
