To all the subjects of her majesty, Continuing the fight against modern American imperialism and advancing British interests in the global community, we strive to naturalise the PHP language. To achieve this goal we offer this first patch of many, which brings it closer to British standards by replacing the weak dollar symbol, with the mighty pound symbol. So instead of the former, antiquated syntax:
<?php $DJIA = 12279; echo $DJIA--; ?> Into the slightly understated yet functional: <?php £FTSE = 6324.20; echo £FTSE++; ?> As you can see this improvement makes PHP easier on the eye for all those loyal subjects of the crown. This patch could also be a first step for those treacherous nations who are no longer under British rule, to return to the crown. We also hope this patch can be useful to our European neighbours who can easily modify it to use the Euro symbol. Something Brussels will be pleased about, considering the costly conversation to the Euro in 2002. Our next British naturalisation patch will aim to fix the numerous spelling mistakes littered throughout the PHP source code and API. Colour is spelt with a u, not without, as in imagecolorset(), and it is "ise" not "ize" as in unserialize(). We can accredit this fantastic idea to a late Sunday evening while watching the Queen on TV and sipping Earl Grey tea from our fine Indian china. God Save the Queen Andrew and Ben Loyal subjects of the crown P.S Before you reply please make note of the date.
