Hi there,

what really would be nice, if PHP would have a more advanced way of 
quoting strings similar to Perl. E.g. the q{} and qq{} function are 
really helpful there or that i can use e.g. $var = !my string 'hallo'!;
and i don't have to backslash ' and " inside the string.

another thing that i find useful in Perl is the unless construct. I 
sometimes find it more readable to use "unless($error) {...} " instead 
of "if (!$error) {...}".

I think this would be nice additions, perhaps you'll consider 
implementing them in future releases.

Thanx
