Submitted: 2004-10-27 06:17 UTC Modified: 2004-10-28 11:45 UTC

Description:
------------
The following clause, while cute, should be removed: "and nobody serious would be doing genetic analysis with PHP"

Sadly, many serious people use the obtusificated (spelling?) languate Perl for many tasks such as this, however, in many ways I find PHP is better than Perl (even for string handling) in the way it operates, programs can be written faster, and sometimes run faster, are easier to read and modify. OOP in PHP is much nicer as well. I have done this professionally for a while, using both Perl and PHP for the tasks I had to do, and PHP was definetly the easier option for making said programs, even without using OOP (which seemed to slow it down).

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
n/a

Actual result:
--------------
n/a

It's better to use C or other lower level language for genetic analysis, isn't it?

He's right, this should be fixed in the manual. We can not discriminate.
 [2004-10-28 11:45 UTC] vrana@php.net
This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
