[Exit Function Early]

I've not used this myself, just remember reading about it: http://go.aopphp.com

 

Looks interesting yet scary.

[Exit Function Early]

Actually, there is a library that might be able to help you, just can't think of the name of it off the top of my head.

 

Give me a second.

[Exit Function Early]

Yeah, if you can't change that function, that isn't going to happen.

[Exit Function Early]

return will work as expected.

 

<?php
function a() {
  include 'file.php';
  echo 'work';
}

file.php

<?php

echo 'play';
return;
echo 'this will not be reached';

[closing php tag in function to write html good practice?]

Anyone actually use this technique?

I wouldn't. I much prefer to go the template route. A *very* simple example:

 

<?php

function renderTemplate($template, array $data = [])
{
  extract($data);
  include $template;
}

template.html.php

<table width="100%" cellpadding="12" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  <tr bgcolor ="black">
    <td align ="left"><img src = "logo.gif" /></td>
    <td>
      <h1><?= $heading; ?></h1>
    </td>
    <td align ="right"><img src = "logo.gif" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>

<?php

renderTemplate('template.html.php', ['heading' => 'TLA Consulting Pty Ltd']);

[Does interfaces include default definitions?]

No interface do not include implementation.

[the purpose of the unset function]

So basically unset is the equivalent of setting an initialized value in Java back to null.

I don't think so. Unsetting a variable is like it was never initialized at all.

[php supports function overloading or not?]

By your definition it does not support function overloading.

[Cloud Server Management Services]

I know that Rackspace do "Managed Operations" but at this point it is far too expensive.

That is indeed what your looking for. It's not cheap, no.

 

If you can find a freelance devops guy you could go down that route (hint hint). We have a freelance board, but I'm not sure where else you might search or how much activity you might get.

[strpos returning false is not buggy?]

This is one of php's little quirks, there is no way to fix it now without breaking BC. Live with it.

[arrays in C vs arrays in PHP]

Who cares?

[Please help me to get this email submit form working]

Thanks. I wanted to try it before it goes "live", because I'm not sure that it's working, if you say the code is ok I ll try and let you know . Thanks

You "try before it goes live" by installing a local http server to use when developing. You won't get any php working without one.

[Data in responseText and responseJson is jumbled]

Do you have some relevant code?

[Please help me to get this email submit form working]

Should it look like this?

<p class="submit">
      <input type="submit" formaction="form-to-email.php" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send message">
    </p> 

 

No, the code you're have in your form is fine. Judging from your error, you don't have a server setup. PHP requires a http server configured to execute PHP. You then need to access your site via urls, not file paths. eg; http://localhost/index.html, not file:///C:/ etc

[Please help me to get this email submit form working]

No you don't need to "link" them, the form just needs to submit to your php script (by setting it as the action).

[heredocs not working]

Your closing theEnd needs to be at the start of the line.

[the executor operator not working for me]

If this script is being executed by requested it via a web server then the script executes as that web server.

 

eg; On a typical Debian machine, Apache Http for instance will be running as the www-data user.

[oop magic methods confliction]

What the hell are these classes? I mean, why does an Action extend a View in the first place? The two seem unrelated.

[How often do you use Interfaces?]

It's pretty hard to write SOLID code without interfaces.

[Wampserver (64 bits & PHP 5.5)]

People still use things like Wampserver?

 

I thought we'd all moved to reproducible development environments via Vagrant?

[new object syntax and array instance]

using the little info you gave maybe something like

 

$newObj = Google_Service_Calendar_Acl_Resource();

That assumes Google_Service_Calendar_Acl_Resource is a function which it is not.

[Register namespaced class in joomla 2.5]

This obviously wont work because it overrides the joomla autoloading function

It shouldn't. spl_autoload_register adds autoloaders onto a stack of autoloaders. So, unless Joomla is doing something funky with its autoloading, your implementation looks fine.

 

Another option to consider would be to simply use Composer. All you need to do then is include composer's autoloader into your project somewhere.

[Website Server was upgraded to PHP 5.4.30 and now doesn't work]

That code is in some serious need of being thrown out.

 

The session_is_registered function is deprecated.

The mysql_* extension is deprecated

Short tags have long been disabled by default.

 

And in general it's just poor code. Moving forward, you might want the code maintained.

[Making a PHP script non accessible to traffic]

Don't put it within your http server's document root. There is no reason it needs to be executed via http.

[have a script from someone that injects charecters to DB]

We are not here to fix code for people. If you have a specific question, ask it.
