Inept PHP developers strike again

Why on earth are the developers of PHP incapable of making their scripting language backwards compatible? It really, seriously, beggars belief. I’ll be sure to stick to perl scripts in the future as I’m sick and tired of their lack of professionalism when it comes to language development.BTW, a php upgrade today broke a couple of our website applications again, including the blog and forum, which seems to be an all too common occurrence.Inept idiots.IMHO 😉
