What I’m looking forward to in PHP6

  1. Punctuation-only variable names
  2. “Safe mode” that disables all output
  3. HDMI outputs
  4. ASCII-art generators added to core (once CLAs are signed)
  5. The quad-colon operator (::::)
  6. All superglobals reduced to single array: $_FUCKO
  7. Improved elegance

Ponctuations variables are already available!

<?php

${"......"} = 'is real';

echo ${"......"};

?>

The things what I really want are the namespaces and the late static binding (I think that both are available patches for php5)

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..
