If I got that right, you still want to discourage {} and un-deprecate [] again, despite all the good reasons given on this list not to do so? PHP5.1 would be accomplishing facts as to this one. ("Let's remove {} altogether in 6 - nobody should be using them anyway as they were deprecated since 5.1"). The discussion on this list would be silenced and take place "out there" with a much broader audience instead. Changing language syntax that way back and forth again will cause a loss in credibility - once again after the 4.4.0 release. -mp.

If you prefer a PHP which causes strange crashses and memory corruptions, please downgrade to 4.3.11. I am getting tired about this bickering about this **FIX** that makes PHP stable. Derick

I'm fine with the dropping of curly braces, but your attempt to rename this issue as a **FIX** is a bit arrogant and condescending. But maybe you know of some crashes directly related to curly braces, or maybe we're expected to swallow that the deprecation of [] in favour of {} as posted on the official site and now apparent in many language reference books... was a typo. Cheers, Rob.

Huh, I was talking about the reference issue, not about the curlies. Derick
