Hi,

 I'm not sure how many people you've spoken to and what their profile is,
 but reality shows a very different picture:
 
 481004 PHP/5.2.17
  280342 PHP/5.3.8

you can add another ~100 PHP/5.3.8 installations.

For our company stability and bug fixes are way more important (like
10fold) than having fancy new features. I was asked, if we can switch to
5.4.x but i refused, because it's a couple of days work for each project
to evaluate and migrate to 5.4.x

 All in all, I think the people who like the yearly release cycle are first
 and foremost bleeding edge individual developers, and not people who are a
 part of larger projects, or that actually have to worry about production
 apps working uninterrupted.

I personally totally agree.

Cheers, Frank

 Hello Mike,
 
 thank you! It is a useful feature to me.

 class MyBitmask {
   const POS_1 = 1;
 //const POS_2 = 2;// reserved/undefined
 //const POS_3 = 3;// reserved/undefined
   const POS_4 = 4;

I'm developing software with PHP since version 2 and i'm still easily
impressed by such code. So we need get_object_constants and
get_class_constants for such fancy stuff?

Where's the good old
$flag == true; or FLAG == true;?

A bitmask class to shuffle around with class constants using reflection
of itself and a magic method get_class_constants to check a boolean flag?

I just don't get it but maybe i'm to focused to doing things the most
simple and readable/maintainable way.

Maybe, in a few years, c++ will be a beginners language compared to PHP
which gets added new shiny features every day which will only be used by
even more shiny frameworks and the most shiniest, bloated objects one
can imagine.

With every fancy feature added to PHP you kill a kitten!

I'm more with this Give PHP and it's core developers a rest so that
the core can be improved/cleaned up instead of adding Java features
people have seen on the university and like them but now they're forced
to use PHP which is like the opposite of Java. Java has it's good
reasons too. Just a tool. Use the tool that fits best, don't use the
hammer as a saw by adding teeth to it.

Cheers,
Frank
