PHP 5 - I returned after 7 or so years
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008I like to have very clearly defined structures when I write code. I am not a great developer, that is why I need the features of object oriented design. After having tried PHP back in the day, I switched to python for web applications. But now it seems that the time of the PHP-mess I used to get myself into is over. An actual implementation of objects that works made me smile and see how fast I could get things done.
The features I am liking are:
- Inheritance arranged
- Specifying the access level for variables
- Interfaces implemented
Finally the ability to implement a solid MVC pattern and get truly reusable code. A big cudos to the people at www.php.net
