AyKay47 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Found this quote from w3Schools that made me chuckle, since PHP 6.0 isn't in discussion anymore, and E_STRICT became a part of E_ALL in version 5.4.0. Yet another reason why w3schools is terrible. E_ALL All errors and warnings, except level E_STRICT (E_STRICT will be part of E_ALL as of PHP 6.0) just thought I'd share that with the bunch.

scootstah Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 On the contrary, even though w3schools has misinformation like this, I still use it from time to time as a quick reference. It's pretty much always the top Google result, and usually has what I'm looking for right away. For example, the charts for HTML entities are quite handy.

For example, the charts for HTML entities are quite handy. well, it's a large scale site, so everything on there can't be incorrect, (close though). However it is inconsistencies in a site like this that would make me question it's integrity. While I will say that some of the charts etc. that are on there can be helpful at times. The inconsistencies cause me to never recommend anything on it. It's pretty much always the top Google result Which is why it is blocked from my search results that's not a bad idea.

KevinM1 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Read the link in my signature for why w3schools sucks. And here's a better client side resource: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Read the link in my signature for why w3schools sucks. And here's a better client side resource: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/ I was waiting for your response, heh. I took a look at that link almost a year ago now. I never use the site anymore, I simply happen to stumble upon it as I was googling for error reporting. Unfortunately, as scootstah mentioned, it is almost always ranked 1 for any PHP search. I will have to filter it out of my search results. I use the mozilla dev website more often than not to find anything related to client side that I need.
