For an illustration how PHP is 'different' from other languages, consider 'implode': implode — Join array elements with a string string implode ( string $glue , array $pieces ) Note: implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order. WTF! What other library has a major function which doesn't care about the parameter order? It goes against every notion of good design. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php
