And even some rage, and I have to cool them off with all the reasons you and Andi are giving me right now. But I am not convinced nostalgia or teaching the English speakers a lesson is a good reason to keep around a confusing error message. Well, isn't the problem here more people asking on IRC rather than using a search engine before? Renaming will not solve that. ~danielj -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DEV] Let blocks
I don't get the point of it. IMO this will only add another level of confusion to sourcecode; unless someone has a real good example (better than those in the posted link) where this technique is required I cannot see which benefit this feature adds. regards danielj Keryx Web wrote: Hi again! Now that namespaces seem to be on their way into PHP 6 I wonder if let-blocks, as in JavaScript 1.7+, ever has been considered for PHP, to hide global variables from each other? If so, can someone point me to the discussion?

Re: [PHP-DEV] RIP PHP 4?
Alain Williams wrote: [snip] What might be nice is a patch to PHP4 that provides a bit in error_reporting that would cause warnings on stuff that might break on a move to PHP5. Someone could then switch it on and look at what is logged. I suspect that many people would also be pleasantly surprised that 4 - 5 is not as hard as it seems. I don't know how realistic this is but IMO that's a very good idea. One of the major problems for my company which still uses PHP4 is just to find out which parts of our apps will break with PHP5. Having an error log with all the issues to be fixed on migrating would make planning much easier.
