I like what you said here, very informational. I grew up in Memphis and your site brought back many fond memories. What is you favorite place to visit in Memphis? I cannot pick just one, there are too many to choose from. I always enjoyed visits to Graceland.

Very good article although I have to disagree with PHP being function oriented. Since PHP5, all of my applications are heavily object oriented. Frameworks like Zend Framework (http://framework.zend.com) or dORM (http://www.getdorm.com) [disclosure: I wrote dORM] are the living proof that it is possible to write OO code with PHP.

Take a Java example: variable types are known at the compile time. Variable types are immutable.
Type casting is allowed. Both explicit (by programmer) or implicit by the JVM (widening, autoboxing, etc).
Once the reference type is declared, it defines the scope of method accessibility as in:

Class A {
public void method1 {}
}
Class B extends A{
public void method2 {}
}
Class Test
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
A a = new B();
a.method2(); // will FAIL since method2 cannot be referenced by type A
B b = new B();
b.method2(); //allowed, method can be referenced by the type

}
}

PHP sucks so much… Come on, people, PHP started as just a CGI for creating Personal Home Pages (PHP); it has evolved with many retrofits, it’s like converting a VW Beetle to compete in Formula 1; it can be done, it’s fun, but it will not win the race, or it will win it with an absurd amount of effort.

J2EE is more powerful and ASP.NET/C# is light years ahead PHP. And Ruby surely is the future.
