I talked directly to a Zend guy at a SugarPHP conference about the fact that people still find the experience of using PHP 4 codebases in a PHP 5 environment, and he was in complete denial. "No, its really easy," he said. "No its not," I replied. I tried to tell him that finding poor uses of references, usage of outdated POST/GET variables, and other factors make conversion a long and error prone process, but apparently he and possibly the company he works for is in denial, because its convenient for him to ignore actual feedback from the field that they are creating nightmares for developers with their upgrading policy.
As someone who has made the leap and does like object oriented code and uses it all the time, I have taken the effort to upgrade XOOPS to work in the 5 environment and I have to say, it is a tedious endeavor. I "Upgraded" XOOPS months ago and I still get reference errors here and there. The fact is, PHP 5 is essentially, "Enterprise PHP" and most PHP developers are not Enterprise developers. they're, uh, "Millenium Falcon Developers." > > We'll talk in 2 years again when PHP4 is still holding the major market share. > > -- Felix --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
