NYCPHP Meetup

[Peter Sawczynec]

Thank you for the info. The PHP5 thing sounds like a public relations issue with PHP though. Because a lot of the major  media available on PHP (books and online info) still very much present PHP 5 as seemingly brand new 

Warmest regards,

Using the vernacular "I have a PHP5 job" is pass�. PHP5 is now over
five years old, any PHP job should be a PHP5 job :-P. Couple of
must-dos:

* Use special function "__construct" NOT class name for constructor.
* Use visibility: public, protected, don't just make everything public
* Define the special function "__toString" with something useful,
makes debugging much simpler
* Read, and I mean read, don't skim, through every single page here:
