I don't know about you guys and gals but I use the SHIFT key strokes as
"think" time. All that time shifting and unshifting should be put to good
use, so I do my part. Tab and backspace are other key strokes that can be
used to gain some think time. The tab key will insert some number of

Okay, lets take a step back from the volitile issue and consider the facts.
Given the "average" variable name is, let's say, 8 characters. Then one
variable name with case sensitivity allows you to use the SAME typing
sequence for a total of 256 DIFFERENT variables. I think that surely has

First, I know that my "complaints" are probably going to be taken as an

I suppose you could look at it that way, but actually, since VB isn't
case-sensitive, it wouldn't matter how I typed it as long as I spell it
right. So it's not like a spell checker correcting my spelling. Rather,
it's like a word processor applying the paragraph style for me instead of me

Still not a flame, just a gripe against MS to think about!

It's interesting - I look at it like: is there any reason why you'd want a

certainly always try to type things the same way, but if I accidentally type
Strpos instead of StrPos, I don't want to have that generate a

Well, as much as I like PHP, the article is accurate as far as running it on
Windows is concerned. It's not really a problem to get it running as an
ISAPI module (though the Windows install program wisely sets it up in CGI
mode only). I've continually tried to get the ISAPI version to handle som
notice of the editors...

Be careful that you don't attack him or accuse him of being an idiot, or
biased. Just point out reasons why database abstraction is a bad idea,
etc.
I highly doubt
Nice to know that some well known pc magazine wants to test PHP.
Not so nice to know that people testing software for a major computer
magazine don't know how to read the manual.
Installing as an ISAPI module is not THAT difficult (Or am I a genius?). At

Well, well...
PC-Mag, as most ZD-Net and IDG mag's, are in my opinion too dependant on

I think his article is fine. PC-MAG caters to mostly windows users. And
honestly, there are issues in php that haven't matured to 5 * rating. I
