What the hell!?
Someone has completely lost the plot by the looks of it.

Here's three words for you... PINK PADDED and CELL


Anyway PHP doesn't suck, it's probably one of the best server-side languages out there. The only people that say "PHP sucks" are the ones too dumb to be able to work with it.

My point exactally, Gen-ik.

btw the link and this topic title have absolutely no relation and is rather confusing me as to why it was even started.

Correction, the people who think PHP sucks are the ones making money off of ASP.

Alas, we doth possess thy power of function inception, gentlemen!

Code: Select all

<?php
function stone ($name)
{
  include '/home/god/earth.php';
  foreach($rockonplanetearth as $ammo)
   {
     echo "/me stones ".$name." with ".$ammo;
   }
}
?>

I have a friend who started talking about why PHP sucked and why ASP was better one day. He's actually a php programer himself, but his arguments were ones that I didn't care about anyways. Like php can't handle file uploads bigger than 500 megs or something, nothing I would ever care about.
