New linked-in group only for PHP Contractors in UK
I'd agree if we were talking about PHP before OO. Now, you can build serious applications with PHP using MVC, OO, ActiveRecord etc. Especially with frameworks like Zend, Symphony, I feel like PHP becoming more like a programming language than scripting language. That's my humble opinion of course.
I found the tool support to be pretty poor, that was the biggest draw back for me. Stuff like auto complete was not there when I was working on it. Might have changed though. I could knock stuff up pretty quickly but I always though i was just coding hacks and nothing was stopping me.

Oh, it has. Now you can use phpdoc (something like javadoc) and you can use autocomplete in your ide (I use Zend Studio and PHPed). Also I find Browser toolbars which allows you to debug your code line by line very helpful.
I have to admit folks, part of the reason I made the move from developer to administrator was I never understood object orientation, especially this kind of stuff...
$salary->Paycut
and then the like..
this->paycut
funny eh
Thankfully I didn't understand cos if I had I'd probably still be stuck there as a developer taking all the cripe
one of the worst things about being a developer is when during unit testing the business realises they got the spec wrong and expect the new spec to be delivered in the old time scale to the original deadline

those were the days
Milan.
You would use $this->Paycut() from within the class.
When using an instance of the class, you would use $instance->Paycut();
Not terribly hard to grasp, really.
I'm not a developer now, either. But I like to keep in touch rather than sneering at those who do.

Reason: syntax
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
