I figure LJ was my home for long-format writing (or at least, longer than 140/420 characters that twitter and facebook respectively support in the standard post) for several years, so I might as well mirror whatever I write here back over there for tradition’s sake (and who knows, there might be people who only ever read my LJ). This is mostly a test post to see if the mirroring plugin I’ve installed is working. Right now only my p3rlm0nk LJ is set up as a post mirror but if any other users on perilouscodpiece wish to set this up I’ll be happy to (of course, so far I’m the only one using this blog…).

php5 OO vs. Java OO
It seems pretty obvious that the designers of php5’s object orientation support were drawing their inspiration from Java in a lot of ways. Still, there are some lurking surprises if you come from that background. One of these days I should catalog them. In particular I recall that most of them had to do with the “type decorator/attribute” things like static and protected and so on.
