  1. PHP functions by spencerogden · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    What bugs me about php is how all of the functions are built in. For instance the database access functions are all built in and are specific to the database. I.E. SOmething like mysql_connect() is a function. So not only are your function names long, but if you change backends you have to replace all of your function calls, unless you feel like writing a wrapper for DB stuff. I much prefer perl and CPAN, especially since it makes finding docs very easy.
