Well since I've programmed in PHP for a while, I think PHP is quite capable in damn near all of the possible programming areas. But for instance, here are some of their complaints: 1. Weak PHP-Internal Date Manipulation Functions, on certain sites we do quite a bit of non-sql based date manipulation and certain functions which are sql based (and there are functional counterparts for other languages) that are missing from PHP.

Date manupulation is headache. We do need advanced one. PEAR developers are trying to provide better one.

2. Weak Error Handling, We could not get the custom error

PHP5 has "try", "catch". However, there are many rooms for improvements...

in ASP or iHTML for that matter, I'm a pure PHP evangelist from top to bottom.

I forgot to ask. May I ask what kind of features/functions are missing? It does not have to be about PostgreSQL module. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
