New OOP http://au3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php - Must look in User Comments on how it looks

and SQLite http://au3.php.net/sqlite

not having tried v5 yet, SimpleXML (check spelling in polloptions ;-) ) seems what i have been waiting for the longest.

the xml

*drools*
My vote is for SimpleXML because its just that... simple. Once PHP5 is all growned-up and ready for the majors itll be a great tool.

About the new OO capabilities. Maybe some day they will be useful but I never find my self using objects/classes too much. Big improvement however as PHP starts to look more like C++. All definently cool features.

I think they are all very useful features. SQLite will probably be great for prototyping, SimpleXML looks like it will tie into our new fangled object model rather neatly . Still I think the new OO structure itself tops it all as being the most useful.

Big thanks for setting up this forum

simpleXML. HOLY CRAP.

However I like them all! SimpleSQL looks cool too. OOP style doesn't excite me much. Too much C++ shoved in my head for me to really want other idiots to be able to do PHP/C++. LOL. All well I can keep throwing my $.02 around right? Very cool though!

Of course, C++ has one of the most baroque, overly-complicated, and messy implementations of OO out there. Even its designer thinks so.
