PHP/OOP Hellish Nightmare
February 27th, 2007
PHP, the programming language, is not up to par and is not even worthy of consideration by any object oriented programmer.
PHP cannot do..
Static Binding
<?php
public class A extends B {
static protected $Name = "A";
}
public class B {
static protected $Name = "B";
public function Name()
{
echo self::$Name;
}
}
A.Name(); // returns B
B.Name(); // returns B
?>
Static Constructor Methods
<?php
public class A {
static function __construct()
{
}
}
?>
I wish I would have known this before I wasted a bunch of time. I installed PHP 5 thinking it fully supported all facets of object oriented classes. I know there are work arounds, but you end up losing all the benefits of object oriented programming. I am truly disappointed and I loath PHP. What a piece of shit.
Updated: I just learned C# cannot do the static binding thing either. Horrible. Bullocks.
