Note Submitter: shane dot harter at midwayproducts dot com ---- Re: Chris Question re: // Mangle the arguments into an array Why not just use func_get_args() ? Am I missing something? I mean, (no offense) but generally speaking I'm not a fan of what you put together. I can see the benefit of abstracting the plumbing needed for a singleton in a common base class. So I understand your thinking. But I disagree with it. IMO creating a class hierarchy is about properly modeling a system (in the case of an event model) or an entity (in the case of a data model). So instead of using inheritance to better solve a problem domain, I'm using it to handle an implementation detail. IMO, creating an ISingleton interface to enforce continuity, and a code template of an empty class w/ all the required singleton programming would be much better.
