Gahh!!! /me pulls on hair screaming.

Puuuuhhhhleeeze. My favorite "design" in php is their well thought out naming conventions for standard functions such as always abreviating string as str, oh... that is except when it's abreviated as strn or good ol' fashioned string, and of course the underscore, underscore, who's got the underscore game that you have to play with every method.

If the million monkeys jumping up and down on typewriters came out with a programming language, it would be closest to PHP.

/me goes back to working on his submission for PEAR.
