Whilst you can do class_alias() - something I use to hide the long
class name for soap services - there isn't a function alias.
But, if you are creating your own functions, then you could use a
closure and that can be assigned to a variable ...
$fn_FooBar = function() { ... };
$fn_FooBar($a, $b, $c);
or
someFunc($fn_FooBar) { ... }
Closures are ideal for callbacks.
Why do you want to alias functions? Is it to obscure the existing name?
If so, take a look at using an encoder. This uses the compiled code
rather than the source to run.
It is faster to run as there is no compile phase and the "code" isn't
very easy to reverse.

Hello Richard,
I'd like to make a database wrapping class (yet another one,
aha!) as flexible, as possible.
So I'd like to make possible to call, for example,
$db->num_rows($result)
and
$db->NumRows($result)
And was just wondering :-).

A couple of things come to mind.
1 - If you create a subclass and were overriding num_rows(), the
subclass would have to also override NumRows(). Twice as much work.
2 - You could use __call() and __callStatic() magic methods, but you'd
have limited options for documentation then (assuming you use
docblocks.
Personally, I would recommend using 1 naming convention and sticking with it.
Richard.

Viewing the source code on your homepage, I see <b> used 15 times in

I am assuming that maybe you have no control over that portion of your

Could you imagine using <strong> in all those instances where you used
<b>? Don't you think that would be overkill?
Sorry to everyone for taking this so OT for the PHP list.
Micky:
If you look at my site now, you'll see that the issue has been fixed.

I vaguely remember using <b> tags in the markup for SEO

problems than they solve so I will continue to not use those tags and

While I don't necessarily disagree with your point about HTML5
bringing back prehistoric tags, I do think it's important to
remember that the fundamental reason for having the spec is that
everyone (developers, browsers, screenreaders, etc) are working from
the same guidelines. You have to assume that HTML5 consumption
devices (both software and hardware) will follow the spec, so as a
developer I think it's important to do the same regardless of your
philosophical arguments against the decisions made when that spec
was written.

Stuart:
As always, you bring wisdom to the argument.
My only concern is that I do have blind users who applaud my disused
of <b> and <i> tags. Regardless of the specs, I tend to listen to
users who have to live with the specs.
It appears that much of the decision-making process have been
influenced by developers to accommodate large companies (i.e.,
Google) rather than the disabled. In fact, many of these companies
still use CAPTCHA's.
So, until I have blind users tell me it doesn't matter any more, I
shall try not use these tags.

Hehe! I dig it! :)
I definitely dig your site btw. I have found several of the pages
helpful over the years.
Thanks for the good discussion.

Ted, you said:

Micky pointed out the changes in HTML5, linking to an HTML5 Doctor Article
noting the new semantics of the <i> and <b> tags:

I pointed out that many of us read a great deal, and that the one source you
cited specifically covering HTML5 speaks directly to the use of the <b> (and
<i>) tags within HTML5.
Additionally, let me say that the Lawson-Sharp book you mentioned is a great
read. I also think that HTML5 Doctor (Micky's source) is a great read. HTML
Doctor is a collaboration which includes both Bruce Lawson and Remy Sharp:
http://html5doctor.com/about/
I provided links to the HTML5 spec (draft):
> http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-i-element
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-b-element
My position can be summarized as below:
1. I will try to follow the HTML5 spec (as it is now, and with the
changes that occur when finalized):
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html
2. The HTML5 spec has given semantic meanings to the i and b tags, making
them media-independent (nice summaries below, including the link Micky
pointed to initially):
http://html5doctor.com/your-questions-16/
http://html5doctor.com/i-b-em-strong-element/
3. If one works through the other possible options (the spec points out
many other tags that may be more appropriate) and the b or i tag still is
the best fit, they should use it.
4. Of great importance, *I'm not advocating using the b or i tags for
presentation purposes!* Rather, consistent with my earlier emails, I'm
advocating their use for the situations outlined in the spec, when the
semantics can enhance the markup (which is intended to eventually enhance
the experience of those utilizing text-to-speech software.)
Many prominent CSS resets have for some time zeroed out the visual
styling of i and b tags, including Meyer's:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
The use of the tag is now one of semantics, NOT PRESENTATION. The spec
even points out:
Style sheets can be used to format
i<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-i-element.html#the-i-element>
elements,
just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that
content in
i<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-i-element.html#the-i-element>
elements
will necessarily be italicized.

Hello,
i have a Blog Script for my private Website. Normal i write new Articles
direct with phpmyadmin, but this is not comfortable. I has no errors in Log
for the script and the mysql query log write the correct insert SQL code, but
nothing would be write in the database. I really understand not where is the
mistake. Can someone help me?
Thank You! Wish nice day at all!

What is your code in the included db.html? You do realise that unless
you've told the server especially that it won't know to parse your HTML
files for PHP code as well. HTML is embedded in PHP, not the other way
around. If you think more like that, you'll realise why it's not
working.

in the db.html is the follow code:
<start>
try {
$db = new PDO("mysql:host={$host};dbname={$database}", $user, $pass);
}catch(PDOException $pe)
{ die('Connection error, because: ' .$pe->getMessage());
}
<end>
Yes my Webserver parse html files as php. My formular work without problems,
and the old Blog Script work too without problems.

Hi, everyone,
I built a project base on ZF in Zend Studio 8, and run well. But when I
debug the index.php as PHP Web Page, it always get the index.php file "save
as", and then an CGI/FastCGI error, soon or later.
I use Zend Debugger, and Local Zend server.
I googled much , and have changed settings about some timing controls. Like:
C:\..\Zend\ZendServer\etc \ZendEnablerConf.xml
<Timeouts connectionTimeout="60" requestTimeout="120" /> to <Timeouts
connectionTimeout="600" requestTimeout="1200" />
And, in Zend Server-Server Setup-Directives, change the
"max_execution_time"to 600,restart php and Apache-Zend。Also I shut down the
time limit in
"ZendServer/GUI/applications/CE/models/Plugins/Initializer/CE.php" (
//set_time_limit(60);)
But the index.php"save as " and the CGI problem still there.
I checked Zend Server's httpd.conf and Zend.conf, nothing weird. Testing
debugger in Zend Studio also succced.
And more strangely, if I hold the F5 key, let the debugger step quickly, it
has a big chance to get this in brower:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may
have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
At the same time, the address bar will be:
http://localhost:8081/quickstart/quickstart/public/index.php?debug_host=192.
168.0.181%2C127.0.0.1&debug_fastfile=1&start_debug=1&debug_port=10137&use_re
mote=1&original_url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8081%2Fquickstart%2Fquickstart%
2Fpublic%2Findex.php&send_sess_end=1&debug_stop=1&debug_start_session=1&debu
g_no_cache=1305510553167&debug_session_id=1007
the ip address "192.168.0.181" is my laptop's wireless ip, but I have
already set the ServerName to 127.0.0.1 in Zend server's httpd.conf. So why
the debug_host will be 192.168.0.181? Dose this can figure any clue to my
problem above?
I have ticked around here for 3 days. Any help appreciated!!
Best Wishes.
