Re: I couldn't understand why PHP is so popular. The PHP code looks so horrible compared with Java.

Could you put up with the horrible PHP code?

No offcourse not, that's why we read this group.

For comparison, here's some Perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
s--@{[(gE^Ge)=~/[^g^e]/g]}[g^e]x((!!+~~g^e^g^e)<<pop).!gE-ge,
s-[^ge^ge]-s,,,,s,@{[(g^';').(e^'?')]},(G^'/').(E^'|')^Ge,ge,
print,s,(?<=/[^g^e])[^g^e][^g^e],$&^(G^'/').(E^'|')^gE,ge-ge

LOL.
The old I-hate-PERL-vibes are running up my spine again.
Thanks for reminding me why I code PHP these days. ;-)

Does that actually *do* anything? Or is it *really* just line-noise? I
copy pasted it into Terminal and all I got was a perl syntax error.
