Arezzo 4 maggio 2003
I loved PHP till the first moment I made its acquaintance two years ago
and i have made some code absolutely simple and functional with it.
I have esteemed a lot all the persons who have contributed to its
development and i have recommended all my friends or web designers of my
acquaintance to use it and lose all other languages for dinamic web
pages.
Now i have read and verified the new behaviour of an important and very
used reserved word 'global' and i have to reconsider all my beliefs
about all the PHP world.
"How can a development staff of a so important project heavily used all
over the world determine to change the behaviour of a reserved word?" i
ask to myself and not rather to train all the improvised and hopeless
amateurs disseminators of the lots of free bad-formed PHP propagated in
the web how to use it and all the consequences of its bad usage?
Now i have to consider if to adopt another language, or to revise lots
and lots of code or not to migrate to a revision over the 4.0.5 loosing
all the new features....
its a quite difficult decision caused by a bad decision ;-)
