We should deprecate 'printf', since you can just do 'echo sprintf' and, now that I think about it, we should deprecate sprintf as well, since you can just use vsprintf. It's a simple change too... sprintf($s,$a,$b,$c) => vsprintf($s,[$a,$b,$c]);. I'm just it can be done with just a simple regex search/replace.
The fact that are SO many different ways to output text is REALLY confusing for new developers. I think it's imperative we fix all of these items RIGHT NOW. By doing so, I'm sure all the .NET developers that are talking smack about PHP will suddenly denounce c# and start using PHP as well! > > > This isn't high cost breaking changes coz it has a verifiable, ready > alternative to upgrade to without huge Regex searches. > > Since `` are used for literal strings (for poorly chosen reserved words as > field, table names (which happens from time to time)) in MySQL (multiline) > queries I doubt there is a simple way to distinguish and replace everything > to exec(). > > rr > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Chase Peeler chasepee...@gmail.com
