 Er, you can do $object->munge() in PHP, if you write the class etc.

 That said, I love it's class definitions. You can just make a class with
a nice strict class definition...and later it'll accept any typos and the
like in your code:

     class service {
        var $name;
        var $host;
        var $port;
    }

 $object=new service;

 $object->name="eric";
 $object->host="localhost";
 $object->poooort="29";

 and it'll work with no warnings. Wonderful. Anyone know if this will be
fixed in PHP5 ?
