It is more than 5 years ago I did a medium-scale project in PHP and coming back this time to lay my hands on the language again really tells how fast time flies. Varieties of Content Management Systems (CMS) were available for work. In 2005, I was only privy to systems like Mambo, Joomla and Drupal and PHP frameworks like Zend and cakePHP. Now, I cannot count how many such frameworks that exist on the internet.
The most noticeable change in the language for me was the standard OOP feature that was built into the language. Back then in 2004/2005, my knowledge of java got in the way of building OO classes in PHP, though I built many of my components in OO fashion. Now the OOP in PHP in my opinion is mature and can allow for wide-scale flexibility in the language. It is even more lovely to see that I could build php codes with my favourite used-to-be-only-java IDE - Netbeans.
Now I know I got more to learn because PHP is ever more powerful. Combining such power with AJAX has made the web what it is today. I most run now as I have so much to cover about this beautiful language.
