And that IMHO is sad, esp. considering all the good >things that PHP has. Love Java... but its a tool for a completely different job. Its like saying PHP is a pair of pliers, why can't it open a tin of beans. Well, maybe thats not the best analogy... Each language has its strengths and its weaknesses, just choose the one that does the job best. Want to pull data out of MySQL and stick it in a browser, PHP's yer man. In fact, I would say that for the majority of server side scripting jobs, PHP will get the job done faster and easier than any other. But there will always be situations where it is not the best. C++ tried to be all things to all people, and it ended up a mess.... >Saying that just because these are on the web, means that they shouldn't be >done in OOP is imho, plain wrong. >At least that's what I have found, and I am sure some other people will >agree with me. > Well, that wasn't quite what I meant... 8-{ -- jalal --
