I love PHP normally and I love it even more when it doesn't have syntax highlighting or indenting and isn't even displayed in a fixed-width font!

I love it too, but yeah they could do without. I wonder why they're not using PHP 5's OOP features. Could really help simplify things for them in the long run.

Hell I'll be more than happy to refactor FB's source code to fit MVC for equity ha ha.

They do use PHP5's OOP features in Thrift. I'm guessing that the FaceBook code covers a long time period. The parts that have been leaked are core site functionality, which means they were probably written early on. PHP5 was still quite new and untested when FaceBook was developed in 2004.

I'm surprised Blogger hasn't taken the site down.

(Cue massive Google conspiracy theory posts...)

It looks like Facebook and Microsoft like each other. So Google is just doing what any other company would most likely do.

Yuck.

You've got to love the ranting and cussing in the comments. Very professional.

who is posting this stuff? and why?

[aaroneous → tomek]

Facebook had a problem last weekend where their web servers weren't processing the PHP code, and instead were spitting it out for anyone to see//grab.

unless of course it's an inside job :-)
