PHP (cont)
The PHP language has the following characteristics:
- C-like syntax
(with some Perl flavour)
- "loose" attitude to types
(determined by context)
- very easy to manipulate strings
- associative arrays
(cf. Perl's hashes)
- extensive libraries of functions
(2000 page manual)
- supports object-orientation
(cf. Perl)
- comments introduced via
# or //
Syntactically: "a simpler, more uniform version of Perl".
