Maybe never if M$ tries to push InfoPath ;-(

Although I'm sure we'll find a way to use, whatever technology Microsoft thinks of, with PHP too. :) (It's doable to make a PHP script that generates a HTML form based on InfoPath XML.) I guess the question is. In whatever "form" (get it?), will there be a day when posting numeric data as strings is a thing of the past? And when that day arrives, should PHP stay geared towards legacy technology?
