[Ilugc] PHP Pear!!

[Karthikeyan]

Hi,

 What you say is absolutely right.  But the problem is this will remove 
the simplicity of PHP for
which it is so famous.  I am just hoping that Zend Engine 2  is 
optimized for OO features.  In that
way we don't have to rely on extensions.

 Have a great day.
