in thread Perl vs. PHP

I used to work with PHP too, because it was so easy to start on at the first glance... What a mistake! My ol' perl codes I wrote back in 96 on perl 4/IRIX still run unmodified on perl5.8.6/slack, while I had to rework the php code I wrote back in 2000 3 times : from php3 to php4, from php4 to php4.2 (register_globals, anyone?), from php4.2 to php4.3 (mysql_... return values changed), and good luck, now there's php5! OK php is easy, quick and dirty, but the syntax is incoherent, the code is a mess, the whole thing is a pain. I'll surely rewrite all that mess using perl some day!
