That's a very open ended question. The correct question is what do you consider to be features of good programming language vs what do you consider to be features of bad programming language?

Can you be little more clear with your question

Yes it is, one reason being that is tries to be both a object-oriented language and a functional language. Also function signatures are not consistent. For example you may have a string function where the "haystack" parameter is the first parameter and another string function where the "haystack" parameter is the last parameter.

One pro for PHP is the constant development of the language. New features are added and there is an upcoming version (5.7 or 7, what ever it will be) that will address performance issues and according to them will run at least 2 times as fast for current code.

I think PHP is beautiful. Especially when written OO style, but I keep hearing more and more about node.js which is a server side javascript language that is supposedly replacing PHP in the future.

hello,
according to me php is just not that bad. using php you can solve any problem related to web site development. its a scripting language. there are many other languages which will help in web development but php is the simplest.

Here is the my code. I have created the code but everything is ok... but pagination is not working.


Please Give a solution....

Here is the code:


<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>
<?php

$page_url = 'managepageuser.php';
$display_per_page = constant("DISPLAYPERPAGE");

if(isset($_GET['pages']) && $_GET['pages']!="1")
{
$pages = $_GET['pages'];
$from_limit = ($pages-1) * $display_per_page;
$to_limit = $from_limit + $display_per_page;
}
else
{
$pages = 1;
$from_limit = 10;
$to_limit = $from_limit + $display_per_page;
}

if($to_limit > $num_lists)
{
$to_limit = $num_lists;
}

There are mixed opinions about PHP. Is it a badly designed language?
You can say that it is poorly maintained but to answer your above question, you will have to crack a debate here.

Many people say that it creates ugly code and gives you tough time maintaining the code. But most of the time, it is not language's fault. It is developers fault which creates code bloats.

In my opinion, php is a badly designed programming language. The makers of PHP just wanted to solve a problem. PHP was something that happened and not a well thought out plan as Rasmus Lerdof, its creator says. Other languages, say like python was built for a purpose. Readability, easily deploy a site with little effort. Django, the most popular python framework has a tag line proving the same : "The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

I dont think that php is badly designed language as most of the cms system are using php and its working quite well for even programers and end users too

Any programming language is not bad, every language has their own pros and cons. php stands for hyper text preprocessor. it is open source programming language means php software's and code are freely available on the web and we can modify and enhance the code. no licence is required. php is most suited for web development.

I think you is fan ASP . I like PHP !

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.

Personal Home Page (PHP) is a very easy programming language. Since it is very flexible, most people may think at first that it is badly designed website development language. Don't listen to those. It is all about perception. Go and learn it at once!
