NArc0t1c Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Everyone tests something they do sometimes.. Say you want to refresh you're memory on how a function works, then you will make a script to check. Or maybe to debug a script someone has posted. Now.., Do you delete them instantly or do you wait for them to pile up? I would like to make a script that you could easily test scripts, functions and more. someday when I have time.

Daniel0 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have one file for testing: /var/www/test.php and C:\apache2\htdocs\test.php (yeah, I know it's two!!) That's the file(s) I use for testing. That includes if I want to test anything I post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have one file for testing: /var/www/test.php and C:\apache2\htdocs\test.php (yeah, I know it's two!!) That's the file(s) I use for testing. That includes if I want to test anything I post here. I do exactly the same, but only /var/www/test.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I usually name them like: testgd.php testimap.php etc. so I can look back if need be. If course these only stay on my local development server where there is no external access. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerRobot Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Mines actually C:\wamp\www\phpfreaks.php I lot of my testing is for posts on here, so it seemed a logical choice of name Mind you, i probably have a test.php file in pretty much every directory too.

Zane Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 heh...mine's like kfdjfkl.php or if I'm feeling snazzy I'll make it something relevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliepage Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Only one? That's what I was thinking. That's actually a good idea to have one single "test" file, I normally will create a new file and sometimes with the prefix "test" or something relevant, but just a single test file...I have to do that now.

cmgmyr Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have a test directory so that I can try out new things and keep them if they work out so that I can use them later. If I'm testing something in a site I usually use zzz_test.php so that it drops to the bottom of the files so later I can find it and delete it quickly.

Azu Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Lost track >.> I usually make backups of everything I write and store them away somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dptr1988 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have around 4 GB of scripts/demo programs that I have used to test various programming methods in various languages over the years. In fact I still have some of the original assembly source codes that I created when I was learning assembly on DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947740 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have a whole lot of test scripts. If I think of something I want to try to do, I will just type it up real quickly and see if it works. If it works, I leave it to be looked at a few years later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklink Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If I need to test something I will implement it straight into the script I'm building or updating anyway. But I do have a load of scripts for other things like serialization and unserialization, etc. Just useful things I don't need to delete.

moon 111 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I keep saying I'll create a directory for tests, but I'm too lazy. Maybe I'll do it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeB Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I pretty much have a .php file for every piece of help I have ever given both here and on the PHP/Python/Gentoo/Ubuntu mailing lists. To say I am neat is... an understatement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
