Are you sure there isn't a different way to write your code? I guess I'll buy that it isn't a bug, but is there any chance that it can work for the usort() case? Being able to pass member functions would clean up _so_ much encapsulation... And sure, there are different ways to write the code, but it seems like this would be useful for enough things that it's worth having... -chuck
