Re: Truly later thinking...Honey, grab me another beer

If I understand your question correctly, PHP supports a full object model in PHP5 which is the version that runs on i5. PHP6 will have a lot of other goodies to offer as well. Anyone know what is coming out in the next version of Net.Data? ;-)

I don't find it difficult at all to use the loosely typed data types in PHP. I do recommend the use of the "no cost" IDE that will help you keep track of all your variables while developing your apps!
Regards,

Mike

Are there tools that help with that need in the PHP space? I personally
have never developed a PHP project large enough to require such a peice of
software, but if I was developing something like SugarCRM then I would for
sure want something in place that would keep me from stepping on my toes by
making changes in some but not all places that needed it based on a data
structure change.

I am not that familiar with PHP so I cannot tell you. Does PHP do
objects these days or is it strictly code dealing with data structures?

I for one do not want to use languages which after running a few days
tell you that it cannot call pritnLine or something like that :(
