Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if “PHP is still relevant?” Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway… happy birthday!

    Yeah, I don’t take exception with most of their choices, and to be perfectly honest PHP has historically made a number of really bad choices and refused to fix horrible bugs.

    I just feel that providing the handful of tools that have been available since C and keeping them with the same name and the same argument position only makes sense.

    If people aren’t cloning Python commands for their design sensibilities. When they ask for a creature comfort that doesn’t affect performance, It should be more strongly considered.
