Switching to PHP 5
I am finally switching to PHP 5.
What are some cool things I can look forward to in 5?

In any case:
Access Control
Destructors
More Magic Methods
Reflection
Interfaces
No need to use the reference operator in object passing
Better static property handling
A handful of new functions
Hmmm... that's just off the top of my head
EDIT | You just reminded me to pull a PHP6 snapshot from CVS. Haven't looked since about january.... I wonder how complete Unicode support is now.

All the hot chicks that'll look at you when you walk into the room and say 'Oooh, he uses PHP5, we should go talk to him'. I heard that chicks dig a guy that codes PHP5.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I am finally switching to PHP 5.![]()

What about php? what about asp? and I was sitting there like dude... It's my day off. Leave alone with all this crap. Some people!!

Just kidding. But I was hoping to see the look on your face for that split second that you actually may have thought it was me
