First post here so be gentle ;-) I've got a unique need to get the class definitions from a file. Now I can write the string manipulation necessary to do this myself with the help of some regex-fu but I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to add a method like: array getClassDefs(string $someFileName) Like I said, I can do it with some regex work but given the PHP engine has to do this it'd seem like a nice addition to the core oo-functions. This may be a case where I've got too specific a need to warrant community interest but I'd think there might be other cases where such a method would prove handy. Thoughts (other than the obligatory 'p1ss-off'? --Tony

not really an internals thing - generals list is better. http://nl2.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=token&lang=en should get you what you need. :-)

Ah, token_get_all() might be what I'm after. Thanks, --Tony Jochem Maas wrote:
