When I have no time I don't even answer. He took less than 5 minutes to send me a private message that I deliberately took to the public again because I am fed up of being burned in public just because I raise pertinent questions, especially regarding improving PHP development. Sometimes I wonder why I still care. These days I no longer program in PHP. I use a meta-programming environment that can generates code in any language. The latest components in the PHP Classes site are no longer in hand made PHP. Quietly I will be moving to non-PHP specific development. Maybe I will dedicate more time to Perl because it is more useful to my current job. I no longer have the motivation to dedicate to this language. Things could have been different but I was left out too many times. :-( Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
