(wasn't using 'public')...just meant a publicly available function ;-)

i figured the aim was to use a customized debug function and not just
'one' of these. i agree that they can be used. so they'd be stuffed in
there as soon as we figure out how best to define/call it.

[answer]
get_class() to find the object's class in the debug function (which is
passed the object as an argument)
[/answer]

yangshiqi hasn't responded after
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=110992943630914&w=2 so
don't know what he's read/followed/agreed/used...

the archive seems to have mixed up the order of two of our mails even
though the timing is fine and the 'references' and 'message-id' are
what they should be.

yes, _setting_ php5 to php4's object behaviour would be heresy.

the setting is
zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = Off (off is good)
