This definitely would be silly! I was only suggesting that the public properties be made accesible this way. Private properties should be as inaccessible as possible. BTW, my curiosity got the best of me and I read up a little on PHP5. WOW!!! Bravo!!! Looks very promising. I only hope my webhost will listen to my pleas. Dan
