PHP 6.0 is on its way, and it looks like this release will finally remove some of the features that caused many people to turn their noses up at PHP, such as register globals and magic quotes. At the same time, the new version will include built-in support for a number of new features, most notably Unicode, which will make it possible to create completely internationalized Web applications. PHP 6.0 might not stop people from hating the languge, but the improvements that we're seeing in the current developer snapshot point to a language that is maturing with time.
