You could always switch your IDE to Delphi for PHP and confuse them some more.<BR>

As an ex delphi developer there is no way this idiot can understand the complexities of the VCL to a nitty gritty level. And they obviosuly don't understand open source as if any tom dick or harry can just both code and pass it on.... <BR>

Posted for general amusement more than anything else.<BR>
<BR>
Working on a recent project where the client had an in-house system to<BR>
manage product catalogue and stock, and their own programmers who<BR>
weren't very web (or php) friendly. We had a script to send them<BR>
updates by ftp, and occasionally it would fail to connect.<BR>
<BR>
Here we are being told off for using the php ftp functions.<BR>
<BR>

Now in our industry we have 3rd party components developed and sold by well<BR>
known companies to do these functions. When we have a bug a failure like this<BR>
we can go back to them and get it fixed. Recently we uncovered a bug in the<BR>
Delphi 2009 web service file download function and we are able to apply<BR>
pressure to get it fixed<BR>
<BR>
Now I believe in your industry you will be using lot of open source<BR>
components. In my opinion it has a problem of every Tom, Dick and Harry<BR>
modifying the code by the time it reaches you. I personally do not accept code<BR>
from anyone<BR>
<BR>
1) Unless I understand the code to the knitty gritty level<BR>
<BR>
2) I know the person who wrote it to get any modifications and bug fixes done<BR>
<BR>
Now I do not want to argue about this or continue with my preaching. But we<BR>
need to get this project finished<BR>
