I would have to completely disagree. PHP5 is a terrible language. Things "sometimes" work, as the devlopers say. I use php, but I've stuck with 4 do to problems. Also, anything you write in php can potentially be viewed via the web. It's an ok language for building web sites fast, but it has many, many drawbacks. I've run into many of them myself. If he's going to start a new language, might as well make it a good one. He knows C++, so classes will be familiar to him in java/C#. PHP5 classes are strange little things.... that once again, "sometimes" behave as desired. -Josh
