I don't want to see changes (like those you mention later in your posting) in PHP to attract new users, but more to bind people that already use PHP, but are about to "outgrow" it. If you (and others) want PHP to stay at the "BASIC for the Web" level forever - fine, but spell it out clearly. Otherwise people who are waiting for PHP to evolve beyond that will become more and more frustrated. -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://phpOpenTracker.de/ Did I help you?
