How does PHP5 fare with the earlier versions of the language
- by Pankaj Upadhyay
Many times, I like to learn PHP for web development but been drawn back due to comments like the following :-
(Comments are just for reference and does not invite Flame-war)
"PHP is good but generates spaghetti code"
"PHP is nice but Python is marriage material"
"PHP lags stuff that you get in other languages like C# or JAVA"
But for PHP5 i have seen some promising comments. So, What my question is how does PHP5 fare with the earlier versions of the language and is it good enough now to learn for web development.
NOTE:- No comparison of PHP with other languages is sorted here. Please comment just on PHP and it's comparison with itself
