Note Submitter: php at keith tyler dot com ---- To respond to a previous comment: Yes, you could use __call to implement method polymorphism, but it's real purpose is for dynamic method generation (class polymorphism, perhaps?). If you don't need dynamic method *names*, you can implement method polymorphism a lot more easily via the func_get_args() function within the declared method, for example: class Foo { public function bar() { $c=count(func_get_args()); print "You called bar with $c arguments: ".join(", ",func_get_args()."\n"; } }
