Re: [Rdfapi-php-interest] SPARQL OPTIONAL error

Thanks Sergey! I might have submitted a patch in the first instance, 
only my head was spinning a little by the time I'd managed to figure out 
all the code and I wanted somebody who knew it already to confirm sanity 
first. But since there are two others now to support the fix...hopefully 
submitting a patch will make the necessary difference (I think maybe the 
person who was maintaining the SPARQL client disappeared because the 
only svn commits I've noticed look to be for things to fix pubby).

Regards,
Will
