Re: Suggestions for the next php

I did not know that, thank you for the info. I just downloaded phpIDE beta and I am highly impressed with the debugger. It say that it can do remote debugging as well. That sounds cool but I wonder how secure it is. Zend folks, I apologize for taking so long to try out this product, it's great! Manuel Lemos wrote:

I would love to see a decent debugger like perl has. Nothing is more frustrating then having to echo and die() to debug code. Especially when you are assigned the task of updating code from a developer that has long gone without leaving any documentation.

PHP has a built-in debugger support. You can single-step, put break-points, watch variables, etc... from many several existing debugger GUI .

I have been a PHP user since version 3.0 came out, and have seen it develop a lot along the way, but theres some things I find it lacks that it really should not. If people agree, I'll glady contribute to the PHP codebase. For example, multi-threading. Looking at the PHP sources, I can see this would be fairly easy to implement on some most server modules. Before I get fried by people for suggesting this, I know there are many functions that are not thread safe, such the ob_* functions. But as far as I can see threading would be well suited to some PHP tasks...

You can use the pcntl extension if you are using any (fork capable) Unix. Regards, Manuel Lemos
