Hi to all of you,

first I want to apologize for may bad English,

.. . .


I write because I feel that that the way how you see your own product PHP
is totally wrong. I do not mean with it that the construction of the
language is wrong.

Your basic aproach is wrong.

PHP is a server side programming language. That means that the most work
what PHP have to do is to be the boss of the data servers and handle the
data.

Create database or tables  or records,  edit,  delete and read and write
them.

And where is your fantastic programming language so incredible lousy that
me, I am since 35 years a database programmer, just shake my head???

Exact in this operations!!!

I know that it is for free and I can not tell you how much I value your
work on it, but  all of you, WAKE UP!!!!

You sent the handling of records from modern handling via recordsets back
to computer stone age. It is a  torture to use PHP without tools (and they
are lousy too) for database operations.


I can give you a example:

It is in PHP a lot of work to just read the next record in a table.

With ADO is it just nextrecord().

The PHP  way is a insult to the modern world of programming.

Maybe you should consider to write internal  functions for the record
handling which do take all the sql waste of time away  from the programmer
and create just short command words that the developer can use them.

This would be a "small step  for you but a  huge leap for mankind!".

And you would finally win the race  in the language battle.

I am sorry that I write it so harsh, but PHP is for me the definition of
server data handling and exact there you fail in a big way.

All the programmers around the world reinvent every time the wheel new?

Have this really to be?

In my opinion should exist  commands like:
recordnew(table)
recordread(id, table)
recordwrite(id, table)
recorddelete(id, table)
recordprev(currentrecord, table)
recordnext(currentrecord, table)

This is the minimum what I expect from a program language in the year 2015.

This should include already the ajax handling and all the other actions
that are needed to get or view or write the data.

It should also be included table locking and record locking, if needed.

And special  commands for reading multiple records for paginations.
And also for a easy  way to edit a record in this paginations set (page,
count) and write this  back to the MySQL database or whatever database is
used.

.. . .

You are so focused to make PHP better and better that you just forgot to
upgrade the basic commands.

A programmer in the year 2015 should not need to  fetch records and do this
with program code line by line. This was in the year 1982 the case
.. . .

It reminds me on hotels which always renovate the lobby but never the rooms
for the guests.

.. . .

I am  sorry  to be so critical,  but this was cooking me since long time.

I am database programmer  for international police organizations.

Please keep my name confident.
