That doesn't mean that they couldn't have looked at a few of the OO features of PHP 4 or even have migrated to PHP 5 by now (hell, they could be running php 4 code with a PHP 5 interpreter). With the support of PHP 4 going away at the end of the year, it's hard for me to believe many people at all will be developing systems that use it.

PHP5 was still very new when we were talking about it in EPICS sophomore year. Camel case is for chumps :(

There was a definite need for OOP and I think they started development on facebook while PHP4 was still heavily used. You'd probably know better than me.
