From: ryan14 at mail dot com Operating system: Windows/Linux PHP version: 5.3.0alpha3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Overhaul PHP code so it's more like the English language
Description: ------------ Currently PHP code is very hard to understand for beginners because it is nothing like the English language. PHP is currently like learning another language. For example, to output some text onto a webpage, PHP uses this code: <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> Now for a person who doesn't know PHP, they are wondering what "echo" means. So to make this PHP code more like the English language we could use the word "display" so the code would look like this: <?php display "Hello World"; ?> So any person who has never seen PHP code before would know it means to display the text 'hello world'. Another example is the "if" condition which means the code to be executed if condition is true. Instead of using "if", why not use the word "true". So all of the PHP code should get an overhaul and make it more like the English language. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46983&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46983&r=mysqlcfg
