note 36827 added to faq.languages

As a C programmer of 20 years (C++ for the last ten), I have to chuckle when I see such similarity in languages like PHP and Perl to good old fashioned C. It looks like most of the functions in PHP match 1 for 1 to the standard C libraries. I've only been dabbling in PHP for a couple of weeks. Although I was very reluctant to embrace open source software when I had first heard of it, I've been emersed in it for a few months and am now a big proponent. I have used ASP/VBScript for the past five years but look forward to developing skills in PHP. PHP taps my C/C++ skills whereas ASP does not. Thankfully, my employer has been gracious enough to indulge my craving to learn PHP and MySQL (he needs both for an upcoming project). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.languages.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36827 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36827&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36827&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
