I am PHP programmer since a time and I wish php to be more closed to a serious language. I am annoyed by a lot of things in PHP. For example in the following code:
<?php while($ch != EOF) $thestring .= $ch; print $thestring; ?> I ask you why $thestring is available outside of the while loop. I don't want to be boring but php have serious problems like no-namespaces. It gives headaches to any C programmer. It is PHP created for designers with no programming knowledge or for real programmers. Why not let the graphical webmasters to use other SSI like Escapade :) (just kiding). Please read : Why PHP sucks (for large systems) Edwin Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, PHP Annoyances, I hate PHP, Experiences of Using PHP in Large Websites, Aaron Crane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is PHP created for average programmers or by average programmers. I don't think so ...maybe it is just oversimplification that leads to excessive complexity ... just saying...
