Or maybe I do, regarding some internals of the language. If it is visible from the outside, the implementation would be a failure, though. Clearly the migration path should be as easy as possible: You should be able to take PEAR classes, phpmyadmin, PHPLIB, QuickCMS and things like that and install them in the application server execution model with no or minimal changes. This will not kill anything, if done right. Of course, to take full advantage of the application servers advantages, you'd have to rewrite parts of these applications, but that is another issue. > Definitely.

That's something I firmly object. Nobody is cutting anything here. I don't cut roots, and the current mod_php does not cut it when it comes to enterprise league application deployment.
