Imagine liking php

Imagine not being smart enough to understand php...

almost as weird as beeing turned on by peeing

Imagine liking c++, js, lua, c#, haxe and python ^^

@Ranchu js is nice, c# is nice and python is very nice. php is very unsexy

@reij 1 yes, 2 yes, 3 no, 4 yes.

@Ranchu i can see why some people dont like python thats okay.

@reij I'll be honest, the language in itself is fine but the fucking tab as an indent...

I DID like it, 15 years ago, when I was 15.

But then I actually learned it well.

Since then, I respond on interviews to the question: "How well do you know PHP?", by saying:

"It is my belief that the more one knows PHP, the more one naturally hates it. And I hate PHP very, much. But variable variables are the coolest (useless) feature I've ever come across in any language so far."

...what is a "variable variable", nobody asked?

well, it goes like this:

$foo = "foo val";

$bar ="bar val";

$var = "foo";

echo $$var; //this outputs "foo val", because $$var gets evaluated into $"foo", which is basically $foo, and that has value of "foo val"

$var = "bar"

echo $$var; //this now outputs "bar val";
