Hmm i thought about the __toString() method too but i'm not quite sure if such
information would be sufficient. (well i don't know much about php so i don't
know for what the object id can be used).
What variables from the KolabForm class can be returned in the __tostring
method?

Can someone comment on this? (maybe one of the dev's? :) ).
