PHP5 Coming Soon

Posted by krow on from the its-like-hee-haw-with-lazers dept.

Grip3n writes "PHP5 is well under development and a beta is expected out by March 2003 and released summer 2003. One of the more notable improvements which many PHP developers desired is a substantial improvement in PHP's performance. This is due to a new object model PHP5 will be introducing which handles objects by reference rather than by value. Co-creator Zeev Suraski states the new object model is inspired by the book, "Design Patterns"."

    So if swap out IIS for Apache, I'd have a WIMP system :)

    But then if I use Postgres instead of Mysql, I'd have a WIPP system. So is that Pussy WIPP'd or is it that it can WIPP everyone elses ass?
