I wasn't saying that OO is the only way to solve the problem. To me OO soultion is not only cleaner/eaiser to read but it makes a libary eaiser to use. I'm not talking about just webscripting. Having better OO support will allow libary designers to be able to create more re-useable Objects for scripting or application server or gui components. It's kinda frustrating to me, I like php alot and php defintly has the potentional to be used for a wide virity of soultions. Then you guys are going back and forth saying that OO design has a minimanl affect on the community and that OO is clutter. Responses like if you want good OO support use Java? What is that. Why do you say these things. The php/zend engine is pretty damn strong why are you guys looking at it so narrowly. I honistly would like to see php become a more popular soulition than Java in every siuation. Enterprise, websites, or a eye doctor for an internal applicaiton. And i can be. When people at work ask me "how long would it take do to x". I first think how long it would take me to do in php. Php is my first tool of choice. Php isn't java but i think it can be way better than java too. - Brad __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
