#30576 [Bgs->Opn]: Small misconception in levenshtein() documentation

ID: 30576 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: stapleton dot 41 at rheamuvethees dot osu dot edu -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Any PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: He's right, this should be fixed in the manual. We can not discriminate. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-28 11:05:48] vrana@php.net It's better to use C or other lower level language for genetic analysis, isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-27 06:27:05] stapleton dot 41 at rheamuvethees dot osu dot edu The following clause, while cute, isn't accurate: "and nobody serious would be doing genetic analysis with PHP" Sadly, many serious people use the obtusificated (spelling?) languate Perl for many tasks such as this, however, in many ways I find PHP is better than Perl (even for string handling) in the way it operates, programs can be written faster, and sometimes run faster, are easier to read and modify. OOP in PHP is much nicer as well. I have done this professionally for a while, using both Perl and PHP for the tasks I had to do, and PHP was definetly the easier option for making said programs, even without using OOP (which seemed to slow it down). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-27 06:17:12] stapleton dot 41 at rheamuvethees dot osu dot edu Description: ------------ The following clause, while cute, should be removed: "and nobody serious would be doing genetic analysis with PHP" Sadly, many serious people use the obtusificated (spelling?) languate Perl for many tasks such as this, however, in many ways I find PHP is better than Perl (even for string handling) in the way it operates, programs can be written faster, and sometimes run faster, are easier to read and modify.
