The maintainer has his reasons. __autoload() from his point of view is bad voodoo very much like the infamous "magic quotes". It also shouldn't be probably triggered by using is_a() function which is deprecated (!) in PHP5. So if someone is bent on using __autoload() Black Magick he should take necessary precautions. Like only __autoload() his own classes and not touch PEAR's *at all* (none of them requires __autoload()!). If someone is too lazy to properly code his functions and understand the consequences, I have *no* sympathy for them.

The requested change should not be denied simply because you don't like the use of a given function. There is no technical reason for not fixing the bug. It will not cause any issues for current users nor will it create any issues in the future. It will only make life easier for those developers using PHP 5 and __autoload. Please don't be hypocrtical. Don't be lazy and just properly code *your* functions with the correct classname. -- Scott Mattocks scott@crisscott.com http://www.crisscott.com http://pear.php.net/user/scottmattocks
