I Received the following email from CodeGear today (see below) about my support and maintenance agreement for Delphi for PHP which is going to expire soon. I like the bit where they say I will “receive a proposal” for the renewal. I sincerely hope that means all the people which purchased the support will get a discount due to the bugs and instability in the current version of Delphi for PHP? We can only wait and hope!!
