In php, there is not a single member functions in a string, and all string processing is done with free-standing functions. In general I find strings in php easy to work with:

I've written code in PHP as well. It has the advantage over C++ in that it doesn't have templates to distract in the documentation. But overall, I think PHP string handling is a mess...sorry.
Don't be sorry :-) I don't find the interface super good, but it gets the job done with minimal fuss.
Not a good idea IMO.
We disagree, obviously, and that's fine. Just to save some time, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to convince me that range or something else is going to solve my set of issues.
Probably not. I did not have that I mind. I think some extensions to range will make stuff like regexes easier, but it would give you "one

place for all string processing".
Sorry -- do you mean 'wouldn't give'?
