1. please no more register globals
2. namespaces … yes please!

The main focus for php6 should be on OOP i reckon.

I personally feel OOP is very important for programming. Some time we feel OOP is time consuming. But for a large project we need to be organized. OOP play good rule to organize our code and to bring reusability and readability finally we can reach a good standard.

For new version of any language I think the performance is more important then BC. Because every moment we are moving forward so there should not be any scope to switch the language better switch version. Always we have to satisfy our clients and they just want their output. So my programming language needs good performance. And to bring performance better we break BC. Doing some more effort is better then excuse.

Hey PHP is more BC than anything Microsoft ever wrote. Chris OOP is for Db accessibility I agree you dont need it to validate user input.

Why don’t we all just use perl?

Web needs scripting languages, not oop. oop doesn’t make sense for the web.

@chris No, the web needs people to code in PHP like real programmers, not like designers hacking a few haphazard lines of code into their HTML.

Even simple web apps, regardless of wether they are coded in a PHP, Java, or .Net, can benefit from better organization and separation of responsibilities.

My apologies if this reply sounds a bit venemous, but if your way of thinking is what the world truley wants out of PHP, I’ll switch to Java right now and not bat an eyelash. Fortunately I don’t think that it’s so.

@chris

That is a little harsh now is it not?
If you develop a very large web application OOP is the best way to keep things organised and structured.

I agree that sometimes it’s overkill though, but that is when we talk about those itty bitty projects.

[…] As blogged a while back, you’ll find these changes discussed here. Nice use of carrot and stick in fact—for the pain on fixing your apps to run under PHP6, you get Unicode. Tags: php, php6 […]

going to drift further and further into the realm of OOP, it needs to have namespaces. Nothing annoys me more than class and function naming collisions!

I can’t believe this is still an issue. It’s why I rarely use PHP. I thought it was going to be fixed in PHP5, but the pulled the rug from me again.
