Also people seem to be forgetting that we actually got them to rename the File class in SPL to FileObject just because we had a PEAR package called File (This happened on IRC in case people start looking for this in the archives ;P) which IMHO is not a very good thing for PHP it self even tho they maybe could have been smart and prefixed them with PHP_ so that almost no collision would happen anywhere but that's a mute point to talk about now :) - Helgi
