You can even resursivelly call class method itself to cause SIGSEGV of some versions of PHP interpreter. More info on: http://bugs.php.net/?id=18074 What does have these two things mutual? They came from bad class/app design and IMHO won't be fixed in future. But anyway, you can report it via bugs.php.net to get official PHP developer's standing. =Nepto= ____________________________________________________________________________ Ondrej 'Nepto' Jombik, http://www.nepto.sk/ nepto@atomicpile.sk
