Oh dear that's not good then. I don't really know what a troll is, but it doesn't sound very complimentary. I do think though that it's fair to say that PHP has a large share of the web as far as a web technology goes. For the average website owner it's a pretty reasonable language to get the job done with. In much the same way as Perl infact. I would put Java in another league really. More suitable for heavy application development for sure, but not the faster prototyping style of web application development. Facebook is built with PHP mind you and that's a meaty project. And we've just finished a project which makes use of PHP5's object orientation capabilities... But that's enough PHP talk, this is a Perl forum after all. Sorry i'm sure there have been lots of changes behind the scenes, it's just on first impressions it looks just the same. Sorry didn't mean to upset anyone. I'm going to google Moose now.
