PHP is more or less a dynamic typed C++ especially tailored for web development, that's how I see it. PHP originally borrowed a lot from C (syntax and function names) and later borrowed a lot from C++, Java and even JavaScript.

I like PHP and JavaScript a lot. They are not perfect but these organically grown languages tend to be better from my experience.

WOW... i mean PHP is nothing like C++. It is closer to some sort of dynamically typed C with classes. C++ is not just C with classes it is much much deeper language. That being said, C with classes for web is not bad thing to be.

And yeah I HATE inclusion in PHP... it's a mess
