You mean 200kB that are in shared memory because you use mmcache if you really care? BTW Smarty does translate everything to PHP. So actually you're using PHP as template language, when it comes to execution. But you've a little caching logic and some plug-ins that can help you if you know how to use it.
1) The default CSS in most browser display strong like b and em like i. If you forget to add something to your stylesheet.
BTW opening and closing tag of strong means 10 letters more. So what? I don't care about typing more and it really doesn't matter if you got used to it.
2) XHTML 1 Transitional still exist, HTML 4 too. Use it if you like to. It's still supported by your favorite browser. If there is a tag they don't know it gets ignored. If your browser supports XML you could even use XHTML 2 and convert it to XHTML 1 as example in the FAQs show.
and shouldn't be used any longer because they mean _b_old and _i_talic. This means their content should be bold or italic. Now they are called and and you have to choose how they should look like with your CSS. It's just a naming-thing.
After trying the Zend Studio you get the personal edition: http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-studio-per sonal.php It's free and if you can live without having some features it's quite nice.
However I like Editplus2 under Windows and like SubEthaEdit now with Mac OS X.

Set error_reporting to E_ALL and you see when PHP has to decide something you haven't defined. When you set your stderr to/dev/null you won't see errors in most unix tools and they do "something else". PHP has a recommended configuration. Use it!
Actually is seems like a re-implementation. But... Both are XML and we have XSLT and things - shouldn't it be easy to translate XAML to XUL or vice versa. They do the same, but call things differently.
If you develop bigger applications with a framework to put things together all of this integrated stuff don't work. Your only chance is a remote debugger (see the zend stuff for more). All we need is Editplus - a really nice editor. Haven't found something sweet like this;)
And that's why sourceforge doesn't work. Oh it does.. Maybe PHP isn't that bad. Just because something isn't the way you know it doesn't mean it's bad.

Of course speed does depend on your programming skills as well. You can make a very slow programm in C or a very fast one in PHP.
I'd use Smarty and activate caching to speed the whole thing up. It's the same trick Slashdot uses and as most of the pages at Star Wreck almost never change this'd give it the needed boost.
To make it even faster someone could use Turk MMCache. And than but the whole output of Smarty in the MMCache, which is in shared memory, and write a little resource handler for Smarty to use this.
As we see it doesn't depend on PHP or Perl or Java or anything else. It's just about using the right tools for your chosen language.
Winamp 5 Beta 2 is avaible at http://download.freenet.de/archiv_w/winamp_5719.ht ml - or many other site: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22winamp%205%22%20 beta
For the libary and videos winamp 2.9x can do the job for you. But Winamp 5 Beta 2 seems as stable as the normal version. And yes the alpha versions sucked. Thus if you need ripping and burning v5 beta 2, if not 2.91 is enough.
Winamp had a Libary since Winamp3. Winamp 2.9x has it too. It has views too (like the smart playlists).
Currently I'm using Winamp 5 Beta 2, which is able to rip and burn CDs. I'm converting all my audio CDs to Ogg Vorbis with on CDDB data check and an additional click.
I used iTunes for two days. I wasn't able to rip to Ogg Vorbis and while iTunes tried to read my other ogg-files it froze at startup until I deleted the whole libary.
With ENT_QUOTES it does escape both. Take a look in http://php.net/htmlentities - that's unterstanding the system you use.... Same with htmlspecialchars().

I'm working on a similar big project. I've written the core and designed how the different parts should look like (include coding standards, which are similar to the PEAR ones). I did this with the help of a Java freak, so if he is satisfied it should be fine;)
Problem: PHP (and most other languages) encourages UI code to be interspersed with application logic. Solution: Enforce a separation between UI, application code and external data sources (i.e. three tiered application design).
Smarty is a really good solution for this (http://smarty.php.net/). I used it all the time.
Problem: No strongly typed vars Solution: Public class vars and global vars must have their type appended to their name (ex $memberNameStr)
Have to disagree here. I use asserts instead. I.e. a function looks like this:
function foobar($id) {
assert(is_numeric($id)); }
The big advantage is that you get a warning. And you could remove all asserts before putting the whole thing live.
An other thing that can be done is a checking script in CVS. So no one is able to checkin a $foo = new Foobar; echo $foo->_baz;
I don't see a problem with types in PHP. Most of your time you're working with HTTP and HTML in PHP. Both have no types either. If you don't know the type of a variable it's most likely you didn't check its value. Remeber: Always check your inputs. You can't trust anything you get from the user. If you have an id do:
You see? I've initialized $id and made sure it's an integer. If $id is used (not as leftside operator) you get a warning. Turn error_reporting on while developing (I mean E_ALL so you get all warnings and notices).
After having went through several maintenance and change cycles, obviously the programmers of that application had obviously lost track of when something is supposed to be a string and when it's supposed to be a value. The fact that in PHP if (x == 0) is true when x is "", or for that matter when X equals "OTHER", didn't help either.
Just because any unskilled burger-flipper could quickly throw together a 3 page site in PHP, doesn't mean they have _any_ clue how to make a complex enterprise system, that can also be maintained and extended later.
You've something in common with the burger-flipper: You don't read documentation or don't unterstand it. PHP is very well documented. See http://at.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.com parison.php and http://at.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php and solve your problems. As you can see PHP has two operators for testing if two terms are equal. === and !== are the strict ones you need. Next time learn the language before using it.
* Type handling is a nightmare, sure, they make it real easy for the newbies to use numbers-in-strings as numbers, but when you're not a newbie, you begin to run into issues where it's expecting you to be stupid and as a result ends up being stupid itself, and causing you to write disgusting checks just to make sure things are sane.
PHP communicates via HTTP and outputs HTML (not always but most of the time). Both have one type which is string. Types are a extra candy in PHP. Anyway. When you do your checks on input data its not problem. A really short example is:
if($id) { // do your stuff like SELECT... WHERE id = $id, which is safe, as id is always an interger }
Put your application parts in classes and let a framework call them and things like that and coding and maintaince is as easy as with a Java based solution. I should know. I wrote such a framework and made the design with a java-freak;)
