AW: [PEAR-DEV] DB_light

Hi there, perhaps a little OT: won't there be something like perl's 'AUTOLOAD()' in php soon? (thought I read it somewhere on zend.com) Trying to create such a thing for one of my projects ended in frustration because I couldn't find out, how to catch PHP-Fatal-Errors (e.g. call to undefined function) with set_error_handler(), but may be I'm missing something. Perhaps it could be done by using a c extension or something, but for me it seems better to wait (if it won't take longer as, say 6-9 month) for (is it?) php5 and try to get along with what we have now, than to 'misuse' phps error-reporting. Even if we could use that magical extension: what if I use set_error_handler() in a script where I use PEAR::DB too? On the other hand: I would be _very_ cool to have the dynamically loadable DB-Framework now - last but not least as it could stop the endless PEAR::DB against metabase thingie -> some people develop the core features like dynload-framework, connect(), simple_query(), etc. and manuel and other dba developers could seperate the different features in small packages and make them dynamic loadable! NB: Has someone of the real gurus an idea which impact the dynamically loading framework could have on speed?
