Yes, PHP is on the right way. PHP is on the begin of moving from functional to full 00 code. IMHO in 00 code there isn't place for a 'goto' (,but if community need 'goto' i prefer labeled break/continue. It's enough) or others strange language construct. My wishlist for future is: - more, more interfaces at engine level or in SPL

        - "replace" __sleep(), __wakeup()
        - interfaces like DatabaseConnection, DatabaseResultSet,

DatabaseResult, ... (???) which can be implements in database wrappers or in PDO - wrap some string functions into class

        - new String(string [,encoding])
        - String.explode(), ...
        - simple way to deal with Unicode, i don't need full support in ZE
        - foreach(new String('test') as $char) // iterators

- create super global objects like Request/Response

        - good place for wrap ifsetor(), filtering like Response.getNumber(name

[, default]) PS. if community need -> create it, but don't repeat mistakes :)

WTF?!? If you need Java, then go use Java. If you want String object, do it yourself.

I have to say I'm pretty much with Andrey, what you (Ondrej) wrote is not at all what I had in mind. The procedural part of PHP isn't going anywhere. Zeev
