If you're using that autoload thingie, and the objects being loaded in are complex and inter-twined enough, and if your include_once files are loaded in some non-predictable ordering, you can easily make a right mess of things real fast, and end up in this position... This usually indicates (to this naive reader) that what's really going on is that the developers don't really understand what functionality is in what, the architect hasn't laid things out cleanly, and there's a lot of copy&paste code floating around that works more by Voodoo Programming than by Design. Don't do that. :-) I'm not claiming that this IS the situation here -- only that it's one possible diagnosis of this symptom. I'd have to read, or, more accurately, attempt to read and give up in frustration, the source code to know for sure. If you can't sit down and map out what PHP files get loaded when throughout the course of your application, you don't have a chance of understanding what's actually happing *IN* those files, do you? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
