No, the correct response is, "So it is out... but will it get me laid?"

The answer is, "Depends on if you wrote PHP5 or if you just write with it."

Well I would technically PHP is just a scripting language ( i.e. not a structured language )

I would its like perl, where it's intrepted not complied ( thanks Orion, Id been saying that wrong for like three years :D )

If you can compile it, that to me would imply they want one of two ( or maybe both )

1.) People now run the binary in there servers, so that people cant steal thier source as easy.

2.) They want to expand PHP to be used out of a browser, maybe they are interested in being the defacto Windows scripting language, or something along those lines.

?: I am not sure if you can use php outside of a browser right now, I have only toyed with very little.


First of all, PHP does support OOP; I don't know how good, I've only seen examples.

And well, you still have security with PHP scripts; not ANYONE can steal your source; and not the complete source of course. (not having ssh, ftp or physical access to the server is required though)

Agreed, that's the programmer's fault. It's processed server side for faster and more secure results.

Maybe you should look at the person who codes it, instead of the tools used?

Okay, I'm guessing here, but PHP is a site-coding language, right?

So PHP-5 would be a newer version (like Visual Basic 5 or 6, same stuff, just new functions and stuff:P) correct?

Oooooooooh, a php compiler.. that seems cool :P
