Hello Everyone,
I'm not here to to enter in "mysterious RFC processes" nor I want "to chang=
e the web", sorry for that.But I think that this notice is due from the fac=
t that playing for your own reputation nowadays is a quite a common game. A=
nd after all my proposal comes as request of "simplification" of my program=
ming life, and hopefuly yours. Neither I will feel depressed if my past lov=
e for ASP Classic is not imported in PHP: simply because this doesn't want =
to be a romantic recall of the past, neither..However: for the most curious=
 and *info hungriest* I can confirm you that ASP Classic has been around fo=
r a lot of time and still is *silently* implemented for some mere intranet,=
 extranet and websites. Time-to-time I still break on Classic ASP websites =
but frankly the language is promoted for a silent disapperance. And this ob=
vious to all.
Prefance finished.
Since when I started to switch to PHP development I found myself failing so=
metimes on obstruct syntax and not so simple-as-on-the-go instructions. On =
the obstruct syntax, I fixed my coding erasing the more naif syntax or depr=
ecated or unsafe code. On the simplicity, I found myself within the need to=
 replicate a lot of Classic ASP simple instructions (mostly time and dates,=
 string manipulation instructions, etc) and starting a sort of PHP Simplifi=
cation Process on some other instructions like is_set that became is_set1, =
accepting a default value; adding to filtring functionalities, by reg expre=
ssions; etc, etc.
Why this RFC Concept? Well, I finally found myself keeping around with a co=
uple (also a dozen) of=C2=A0 includes files with "simplified functions" tha=
t probably you are in good habbits to create by your own too - maybe. Secon=
d, missing the the second factor in a "mystical war" between languages (see=
 Classic ASP), I don't see the reason why we can look to "import" some good=
 stuff from there simplifing the developement process of all for the better=
?
Waiting your considerations and.. Hope this helps!
