Re: Modular: Fusebox & Classes/OOP

Remember, programming is like your religion. We all are of the PHP religion, as many people follow the Christian religion, but of us devoted to PHP we all practice our religion differently, same as those devoted to Christianity (or Judaism, Islam, etc., etc.). I am of the practice that if it works and you are comfortable with it (and it's not GROSSLY incorrect) then go with it. --Joe On Sat, Nov 18, 2000 at 02:28:22PM -0900, Chris Lott wrote: > I'm coming over to PHP from a lot of Cold Fusion work.
