Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP Specification
From: nilsandre@gmail.com (Nils Andre)

Hi Guys,

> I agree, I think PHP needs a specification. For one thing, a reference implementation is no real specification. It can't be easily consulted, and it also means that any reference implementation bug might be considered a language feature [...]

There are so many bugs which are actually considered features by so
many people of this list. But actually, I'd really love you guys
specify the tons of examples of really weird behaviour found here:

http://www.phpwtf.org/

That should be a good read for everyone who thinks that PHP is just
fine and does not need a fundamental redesign.

Just my two cents,
Nils
