What I’m looking forward to in PHP6
- Punctuation-only variable names
- “Safe mode” that disables all output
- HDMI outputs
- ASCII-art generators added to core (once CLAs are signed)
- The quad-colon operator (::::)
- All superglobals reduced to single array:
$_FUCKO - Improved elegance

I laughed out loud.
Thanks for starting up my day!

Ponctuations variables are already available!
<?php
${”……”} = ‘is real’;
echo ${”……”};
?>
Radoslav Stankov
The things what I really want are the namespaces and the late static binding (I think that both are available patches for php5)
Derick
W0rd Finkmeister… as to Radoslav, both patches are already part of PHP 5.3’s CVS.

Damien,
If I EVER get code that does that, I’m sending it to you for maintenance.
Stop handing out hanging-rope! (-;

So, to sum it all up, php 6 would allow you to do something like this:
ASCII::::${”.”}($_FUCKO[${”……”}]);

what i’d like to see for php6 would be a cleanup. making all methods/functions named consistent, killing unnecessary aliases…
oh and maybe real namespacing instead of that hack..
Sezgin
hehe I would like php will support Unicode support with $_FUCKO global :)
romain
my 2 cents contribution…

@federico: you forgot the last part: ASCII::::${”.”}($_FUCKO[${”……”}])->convert_toHDMI();
(at least roughly according to the php naming tradition)
