You're not to fault, and the point about Java collections Vs array()
is pretty good, unfortunately, I never made it that far because I was
completely turned off by the "article", the exact text Tim was
referring to:

release of php 5, php became the better language. Just one example --
collections; php has one all purpose collection type which is an
array/hash/stack or queue depending on how you choose to use it, and,
as you can store any object or another array in the array it handles
any type of tree. Java on the other hand has:- ArrayList,
AttributeList, BeanContextSupport, CopyOnWriteArrayList,
CopyOnWriteArraySet, DelayQueue, EnumSet, HashSet, LinkedHashSet,
LinkedList, PriorityQueue, RoleList, RoleUnresolvedList, Stack,
TreeSet, Vector etc. etc. and this is only from the official
"java.util....." there are thousands of other "collection" classes out
there. Nearly of the functionality provided by this mass of classes is
available in php's 'Array()' type. And php does it faster!
This more or less sums up my entire purpose in using PHP. And the
philosophy behind that leads to numerous other features that makes it
easier.

sorry, I thought the part about Java's
multitudinous specialty "collection" classes
versus using an 'Array()' type which is
simpler and faster was a valid point --
my mistake.
