    I have been an avid user of php, I have even made my own website using PHP. It is so good that big sites such as mine use it. For all serious developers, PHP is the best choice for all php programming.

    On a slightly different topic, one wishlist item that I would like to see in PHP is Abstract Database Access.

    Actually, what I'd like to see is bitwise-operations on strings - my Ogg Vorbis decoder written in PHP is currently languishing at just a bare-bones Ogg demuxer 'cos unpacking all the Vorbis packets proved just too fiddly...
