I thought that was rather odd as well. I started in on PHP for a bit
during the summer and eventually dropped it after discovering that OO-PHP
is deprecated by those Zend folks (supposedly it's "slow" and there are no
destructor methods). I also didn't want to deal with their useless use of
sigils and the weird namespacing. If you completely left CPAN out of the
picture then just as a language and syntax it isn't all that nice anyway.
*shrugs* I've yet to understand what the appeal is.

The article says PHP is syntactically similar to C++. What PHP are they
using? I picked up PHP in no time because it was nearly indentical to
Perl. Sure, it's similar to C and C++, but, uhmm, $variable? Also
mentions Perl has had OO bolted on. How do they view PHP's OO? I'm not
bashing PHP, quite the contrary. But damn, that's just an ignorant
article. I do wonder what sparked them pulling it out.
