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!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
