I hate these bugs...

I just spent a good half an hour (notice its 4:40am here) hunting down a bug which turned out to be a Capital Y instead of lower case y :cry:....I couldn't figure out why my code kept returning the same result no matter whatt he input. But now I can see its cos I was using a variable that didn't exist and therefore my input was being ignored :(. BTW this is php so you needn't remind me of option explicit ;) :D.

You should've used option explicit anyway! =)

All your bugs are belong to option explicit.

:lol:

I don't believe there is such a thing, especially when you can't even declare variables in it to begin with :D, it would be so good if you could have variable declaration in php though :D.

you dont declare variables?

string[5] input;


thought php catered to the C syntax. :confused:

yea it does, apart from the declarations part. if you want to use a variable you just treat it as if its already declared (as variant in VB), if it doesn't exist then it will be created for you.

So this would be valid:

PHP Code:

---

$i = "Hello World";
$i = 2; 


---

eh. cool stuff.

I'll stick with html/flash :)

Yea, perl is the same way, they are much alike in fact!

Write a program in VB to scan the PHP source and alert you to bad variable use - if it happens that often...

Not really, just I couldn't believe how long it took me to find it.

They should make it like VB and case insensitive :).

Smite You :mad:

Btw, if you use turn Error Reporting to E_ALL or add E_NOTICE to the current error reporting setting, you will see a notice everytime you use an undefined variable.

visualAd - sees a bad post - dis'ing PHP...

steams and smokes for a year...

Then comes back fighting!

The perpetrator should be banned in my opinion.

What was the name of kedaman's silly language? :wave:

C#.NET :lol:
