i'm a fan! i really like it. they abandoned some older stuff and are evolving to the shortest & fastet scripting language ever!
$_post and stuff like that  next step: follow the idea of asp.net and compile scripts instead of using a script engine!
I think that php5 with the new function(SQlite or about the Class) are going to become the most popular Server Side language
QUOTE("marijnnn") next step: follow the idea of asp.net and compile scripts instead of using a script engine! I hope that they'll never do that, i don't like compiled Lang because you have to respect some limitations and the Php best quality is that the programmers are free to create what they want 
true, so maybe they should make two versions, hehe.
no really, asp.net will overpower php when talking about dedicated servers: when a company has his own server, a big part of their site will stay in the memory all the time. and if it's already compiled, it will work really fast. but for free servers, or servers that host many sites in general, script engine is preferable, because you can't keep all the info in the memory, there are just too many pages.
can someone tell me what is new in php5, i'm not really sure what the differences are between php 4 and 5 (i use php 4.3.3).
compiling scripts probably wouldn't be a good idea (unless you had a decompiler  )
also go to www.zend.com that provides the new php engine: ZENDII
Is astahost going to upgrade their server to php 5?
