Hi guys,
I just had to take a moment to let you all know just how cool this PHP5
thing is. I know that I've been kinda vocal (and perhaps out of place)
in the past about some of the behavior of OO stuff like interfaces, and
sure disappointed when __toString() became less magical, etc. Those are
all really minor things in the face of just how frickin' cool it is to
build applications with PHP5.
From my perspective the greatest addition is Exceptions, followed very
closely by the new object model, interfaces, etc. The use of libxml2
has made many new things possible -- and has made use of XSLT a much
less painful ordeal.
The only problem with PHP5 is just how painful it has made it to use
PHP4. Anyway, just wanted to take a moment to say great work and thanks
for making what I do for a living fun! :)
Cheers,
Hans
