I can give another practical example in wxjscript from this javascript example that can be run on apache server you can see that is simpler to read and to learn at least for an beginner http://www.wxjavascript.net/mysql/index.html What i want to say is that php must go forward and yes you can change/break things in the engine like in the php 4 to php 5 migration or php5 to php6 In time maybe an fast javascript engine could replace php if it doesn't change in the right direction or it goes to java bloatware way > > -- > Jordan Ryan Moore > -- developer flamerobin.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
