Hi folks. A while back I inquired about managed VPS hosting services.
I have since gotten a recommendation for ServInt.net, which seems to
offer an actual managed VPS or something very close to it. Does anyone
else have experience with them, good or bad? Are they decently
responsible
The private keyword was added in PHP 5. PHP 4 doesn't have visibility
identifiers. In PHP 4 you have to use var, which is then always public.
Or you could just use PHP 5 instead of a dead language. :-)

You're absolutely right, Waynn,
Phpdocumentor has this, too:
First spend time working with straight up PHP, writing your own stuff,
throwing it away, and writing it again. What you'll learn that way is
immeasurable.
Then pick a framework (Cake, Drupal, Symfony, Zend, PEAR, whatever) and
learn it, maybe two. Try working with it and extending it.
Performance-wise, SELECT * is slower than specifying fields

Assuming that by bare strings you mean:

as opposed to:
$foo['bar'] = 'baz';
That is generally considered very bad form in PHP. That throws an

small amount) for the error handling. Of course, if you

That's called method chaining. -getColumns() will get called on the
