New version of PHP (was Re: [MLUG] Mailers for Windows)

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

So, did some looking today at the new version of php, while wondering 
how hard it would be to add memory resident caching of data and class 
files.  Let's just say that php looks like it's adding the good stuff 
from Java.  Further, looking at the syntax on 5, it looks a LOT like 
java.  Take a look:

http://us4.php.net/NEWS_PHP_5_0_0b2.txt

 From what I've seen, php 5 looks like a true java "replacement" in many 
ways.  Anyone have any thoughts?
