Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if "PHP is still relevant?" Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway... happy birthday!

Ah yes, the language that picked strlen as the hash function for its hashtables.

Javascript is living proof that your language doesn't need to be good to be used.

I tripped over this one in Delphi the other day.

function AnsiStartsText(const ASubText, AText: string): Boolean;
function AnsiEndsText(const ASubText, AText: string): Boolean;
function AnsiContainsText(const AText, ASubText: string): Boolean;
