I'd just like to put in a word for refactoring - improving working code without adding new functionality - as a learning tool. Take a script you wrote a few months back, read the code, then write it again. Try to identify common functionality and extract it into external functions to be reused. Make functions more generic, remove magic numbers. Seperate business logic and display elements. Consider what could go wrong, and how your script will fail when it does. You might be surprised at how much of an improvement you can make just moving from v1 to v2. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
