Hi Spidy,

<rant>
"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Mark Twain.

Did the instructor say anything along the lines of "C is a dead languague, its even older than Perl"? Or who will be doing the phasing out?

This does not answer your question "why does everyone seem to prefer PHP nowadays?", but it is something to keep in mind. When I transferred from college to Uni our C++ teacher had written a book on the subject which we "Had to buy, if you want to stand a chance of passing this course". This was the same man who had no idea that you could compile C++ code using "Borland C++", nor could he explain the code he had 'written' for a linked list tutorial. In fact, I had to explain to that code to the class. What I am basically trying to point out is, just because someone is a boss, manager or 'educator' does not necessarily mean that they are right.

Cheers

Martin
