The body *is* processed at compile time, it is compiled into PHP code which is evaluated at run-time and passed to the block function. I know what you want to achieve, but not sure of a good way to do it. It seems that the block function would need to receive compiled code as its content so that it could loop and call eval() on the code when needed.. -Andrei * As a child, I wanted to know everything.
