if you haven't seen it yet and are interested in the future of php you might be interested in the _big_ thread on php-internals that starts with the message: http://www.manucorp.com/archives/internals/200508/msg00398.php IMHO every halfbaked php coder should read it ;-) to cut it short for those to busy, or what not, Rasmus offered his his vision of php6 (which seems will be the version that will first bring the awesome unicode [and date?] functionality to the masses - hey thats us! :-) ) and there seems to be pretty much unanimous agreement on his main points (lots of discussion on more issues/ideas other people have brung up in response) the future's bright, the future is green. why php6 and not php5? look how long it took to get to php4 (with php5 just starting to rolling out) and people are already talking about php6? sure it is just a 'versioning' thing, but right now huge numbers of php users aren't using php5 (including me) on production environments, let alone start talking about php 6.

anyway, i think i will be with php4 for a long time to come. kinda of how apache2 hasn't been a real success over apache1. i just hope php doesn't end up being bloat-filled with the not-so-useful thing just taking up resources. i only been coding in php for a couple(3) years so maybe i have no idea what im talking about. maybe a 'php-lite' version ;) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
