Hello, Hojtsy.
  Modified files:                  /phpdoc/en/appendices    migration5.xml   Log:
Changes in PHP5/Zend2 inserted into OOP section
Two notes on this. - Noone said that PHP should be replaced with &php; in the manual, in fact some people opposed this *idea*. So this was not a good idea at all here. Thos suggesting &php; have not yet provided reasons on why this would be good (or I have missed those reasons).
Sorry, I thought it has been approved before was added to entity list. Comment in language-snippets says: "These are here as helpers for manual consistency and brievety". I doubt &safemode; entity could be useful, but look at sources: we have PHP vs <literal>PHP</literal> 4/5 vs <literal>PHP 4/5</literal>. Such entity could really improve consistency, couldn't it? :]. It could if the original idea was to use <literal>PHP</literal>. Anyway, I'm going to revert it to PHP 4/5 (without <literal />). Is that ok?
I have planned on starting a discussion later on how that new PHP 5 OO section should be built up, since it should be suitable for both PHP 4 converts and those new to PHP. Therefore using 'objects are no longer' or 'changed the behaviour' might not be correct in that section, since it does not mean anything for newbies. It in fact makes their way harder. Ideas?
This is difficult.... I really have no ideas to OO. Split the language reference OO in PHP 4 and 5?
Spliting could make harder way of PHP 4 developers are not familiar to OOP. But I suppose it would be best choise.
