I just discovered an interesting wiki part of php.net, http://wiki.php.net/rfc.

It contains drafts, proposals in an easy-on-the-eyes format. Some of the more interesting topics are

public double Hours
{
    get { return seconds / 3600; }
    set { seconds = value * 3600; }// The variable "value" holds the incoming value to be "set"
}

}

Also, it feels nice to see inspiration coming from other languages (surprisingly javascript stands for quite a few). I wonder if it will become more and more like java, with all the oop/namespacing in the latest patches. (I hope so.) The more global functions we get rid off, the better.
