quick wishlist...

I've been working with PHP/Zend for a couple of months now, and while I like it immensely, there are things I'd like to see. I'm an ASP developer and what I'm suggesting is what I find lacking in comparison. Flames concerning ASP to /dev/null, please. Keep in mind that I've only been using PHP a little while and some of what I'm suggesting might exist. I just haven't found it. A recordset object: If I could assign variables and call a function (rs.update();), that would save me a lot of time from having to type $query = "INSERT INTO FOO ("; $query .= "variable1, variable2, variable3)"; $query .= "VALUES ("; etc... A global asa file: If this file exists in the root directory, I can maintain session variables and cache SQL queries. On Linux, integration to other components using ORB: One of the very nice things about ASP is its ability to use COM and integrate methods from a component into your code. Anyway, just a few items that I think would enhance my ability to code using PHP...
