PHP6 existed - it was simply never released formally even as an alpha due to the conflict between what was planned and how it was being implemented. There is a lot of material within the PHP archive which document it. SOME has been lost due to the various changes to the website handling, but that material is archived elsewhere. Now people are saying PHPNext, or PHP6/7 so extracting what relates to new discussions on the next version is a problem. phpng has provided another handle for these discussions, and that can be used to filter the growing volume of material, but there is not a suitable handle to lump the NEW discussions on PHPNext together. PHP7 is simply the next obvious hook given that PHP6 is contaminated with such a large existing history. Making a decision now simply clears up what is currently an untenable situation! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
