PHP5!

[TwoSeven]

Meh. Kiddy code. Join the dark side. Cobol and ABAP and C

Thats cobol '77 you mean, - on punched card. Non of this airy fairy quiche eater stuff they use nowadays.

[TwoSeven]

Wha? What is this language you speak of?

PHP stands for 'Pretty Hopeless Programmers'. Not a language as such, more of a script used to link someone elses code blocks together.

Well I make a rather tidy figure off building commercial level scripts....

[NordieBoy]

Apache Rivet is the way to go

anybody know why ColdFusion is not so popular?

[TwoSeven]

Its more popular amongst the corporates, but kind of losing ground to the standards based languages.

I've never used php before but I'd hazard a guess that the } commented out and the missing ; from the end of the second class definition are your "fun" syntax errors.

Looks like its stolen most of its syntax/functionality from C++, which is a good thing in my opinion (no point reinventing the wheel). I've never liked exception handling in C++ but I think it works far better in php where I assume you have garbage collection and don't really care as much if the exception isn't caught.

very good ..

You got the commented bracket..
But the sneaky one was with the end of the first class definition there is not suposed to be an ending ;

Yea, PHP is based strongly on C syntax which is good because it makes it accessible, and with PHP5 its introduced a much better OOP design..

have some rep

bugger I assumed it would be like c++

I'm probably gonna do a little project with html+javascript+php+sql soon, I know html css javascript and sql but I've never put them together and internet programming is probably my greatess weakness. I should also do some java as well...so much to do so little time.

I'll probably cover it all in my papers next semester.

[John]

well in that respect my thoughts are, keep as much as you can server side where you can, blardy java nothing but trouble, If you need any help just PM me..

The pear library (http://pear.php.net) has some good tools that would most probably help you out!.

is it because coldfusion development is more expensive than ASP/PHP? (you know...server cost, hosting cost, etc)

I always use CF but I fear that there seems to be not much demand to CF people. Is this true, u think?
(I don't really know as I am not in IT business)

[pyrocam]

Meh. get Vi from Here . What more you need ?

Gcc and gcc++ from Here
and gdb debugger (none better) from same place

Cost = $0. Good sauce HP sauce, better source Open source.

yeah man, everyone knows VI is the best editor. Ive still got a copy from my 1994 cd-rom install. (dont ask me what flavour I forget, they sold out ages ago)

although I have to say. even though it is the best editor. im lazy and editplus all my stuff. im re-doing pyrocam.com in notepad at the moment. looks pretty cool. (dont bother checking its not there atm)
edit: www.pyrocam.orcon.net.nz
testing server. links dont work

Well the last big project I did that had CF developers was in 2000 and even then it was losing to either the ASP/MS guys or the Unix/Java camps depending on the investment by the company.

It was also brought by macromedia and to be honest, I dont really see it sitting in their product range, because they are now supporting .Net technologies.

I used to like it because it worked. However, I find myself more and more moving towards .Net now.

[Marmoot]

but CF is very easy to use and the way it handles strings and connects to the database is just plain simple, don't you think?

You are on to it. Why you are at it you might as well get a decent platform to build it on www.linux.org

I've done a bit of php and although it's not bad, I prefer perl for "hacking" stuff up in. But each to their own.
