Short tags is evil.

Even more evil are short tags with an = rather than just echo'ing or in this case reponse.write'ing.

You want to see horrible ugly code? Go read some ASP where they use lot's of nasty for loops and shortcuts to echo'ing. You can hardly read it.

I feel you. There was something posted here once about looping the a string char by char using a really cool method. I had no idea that could be done. (I didn't mention it earlier because I can't find the link to that thread). Anyway, sorry if it seemed like I was bashing you. I just jumped on the bandwagon without thinking about it too much.

WooHoo, I found it! This the thread in which pickle taught me that you can walk a string like an array. I had no idea you could that.

EDIT | Thanks to nathaniel who brought to my attention that I had inadvertently and inappropriately given no credit where credit was due AND gave credit where no credit was due. Sorry pickle.

Classical ASP (ASP.OLD) is nasty. Never liked it. The new ASP (ASP.NET - specifically C#) is pretty tight. Haven't had nearly the time I want to be able to learn it, but I will someday. It is pretty cool.

ASP.NET C# is nice and I don't know the extent of it's features but it still isn't open source. :(

PHP is proving to be incredibly powerful as I learn more about it.
