"Though most of my "PHP OO" has been modular programming
more than anything"

Is that an oxymoron....or are you saying that your OO programming isn't really OO programming but modular programming in an OO capable language?

I am wondering if it had something to do with when PHP started including OO.
Though I thought that was way back in PHP3.

FWIW, being able to do non-OO and OO in a single language has been good for
my usage of PHP. Though most of my "PHP OO" has been modular programming
more than anything (i.e. separate out related code components into
appropriately named PHP objects).

I am not familiar with the PHP4 versus PHP5 battle. What in particular are
you referring to?

(and for those wondering why the "claim to be Java" is so important, it is
to avoid the little nasty corner cases which usually bite you in
production.
Passing the TCK (allowing you to claim to be Java) catches most of these).
Proof: Look at OpenJDK - tiny issues in the corners which all in all cause
the instinctive reflex to any problem to be "install Sun JDK and see if it
goes away". It usually do.

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I should have been more specific: this
limtitation prevents Harmony from running on an appliance and claiming to
be Java compatible.

It's really a tempest in a teapot, at least for now. As Thorbjørn noted,
SE 6 is perfectly adequate for anything coming down the pike. If Oracle
does indeed force a fork between "official" SE 7 and the current open
source JVM, it will be interesting to see how the open source community
rects - will new libraries use only SE 6 capabilities? Oracle is in
danger of turning Java into PHP - the PHP4 vs PHP5 battle is still not
pretty.

Joe

I don't agree with Joe that Oracle doesn't want Java running on embedded
devices. Yes Oracles bread and butter is on the server side, but the
server
side usually talks to some kind of device on the user end.
