Your whole argumentation is based on this assumption, that PHP *only* is used for writing web scripts. This is a faulty assumption. PHP is already used for writing stand-alone applications (think PHP-GTK and the CLI SAPI), and this is likely to increase in the future because of the improvements in the OOP support in PHP 5. I totally agree a 100% that a quick little web script don't really need OOP. But PHP, or rather, the Zend Engine 2, is not limited to only web scripting. It can be used for so much more, and that needs to be taken into consideration when discussing these things. -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.capio.com
