PHP5 was NOT the better choice / #5314

Greetings,
 PHP has /always/ been a powerful programming
language. /NO/ PHP5 is /not/ the most OO oriented
version of PHP. In fact PHP5 is /actually/ Java/script
in disguise. Fact is, shortly after the starting of
version 4. Sun Microsystems provided /substantial/
financial support to PHP (php.net) development. As
such, /greatly/ influenced it's (PHP's) direction in
development. Anyone whom has done a fair amount of Java
programming /immediately/ recognizes the almost
identical function names and usage. There was a /great/
deal of controversy (and anger) when this was first
recognized. But hey; money talks and BS walks. So Sun
wins and the users loose. Don't believe me? Have a look
at the Web2 specs. Hell, Sun is even offering (selling)
a Web2 platform. Bottom line PHP4; most notably >=4.4
has offered all the OO concepts found in PHP5
/without/ requiring you to program with Java functions
and name space(s). It is, in fact more powerful than
PHP5 and has/requires alot less overhead for the Server
and the Client side - really.

Anyway,
 As I like your project, I was hoping to discover a
version that does /not/ require PHP5. If not, I guess
I'll simply grab your latest version and fix it so
that it runs on PHP(4). Maybe even make a SF/FM project
out of it. :)
