I felt I was stretching it by posting what I did, but some of the best (for me) messages I've seen here have been other peoples problematic code snippets. Some functions exist that are not documented in the online manual yet. . if I could view the complete PHP symbol table I probably would not have had to ask the question <cough>. . it illustrates again (with Faisals' answer) that required, included and eval'd code is gonna end up globally scoped, period :-( . yes, I would like to store the method() that renders to HTML other data stored in the same and related records so that the scripted PHP code is just a generic engine to deal dynamically with specific instances of raw_data->HTML rendering. Below is getting there; <?php class blah { function somemethod() { eval('class xxxx { function somefunc() { return "wherethefsckami"; }}'); $this->beer = new xxxx; } } $x = new blah; $x->somemethod(); echo "x->beer->somefunc()=".$x->beer->somefunc()."<br>\n"; ?> Thank you Faisal ! --markc
