Oh, and can be have fixed name constructors, please? Like class X { function _init() { print "I am a constructor\n"; } } $x = new X; // prints 'I am a constructor' and if you rename X to Y, this would still print 'I am a constructor', without need to rename the constructor. And in a subclass class Z extends X { function _init() { $super->init(); print "I am a subclass constructor\n"; } } you could extend the constructor without knowing from which superclass you are derived and _without_ changing all constructors in all superclasses once you renamed a superclass... You _could_ still use namespaces to call X::_init(), if you insist... -- Kristian Köhntopp, NetUSE Kommunikationstechnologie GmbH Siemenswall, D-24107 Kiel, Germany, +49 431 386 436 00 Using PHP3?
