That's not a valid excuse for taking the sloppy pig route to
development. Sloppy pig's give conscientious developers a bad name. And
when they use PHP to create their slop, they give PHP a bad name.
Well I err towards actually doing something useful. Businesses can
rarely wait while developers create a technically perfect application.
Those that do are rarely successful. As always there's a balance to be
struck between writing technically perfect code and getting the job done.
I don't see a reason to compromise. It would take no longer to call
extension_loaded on each page request than it will to put the variable
in the session. You're right in saying that there's a balance to be
struck, but in this particular case I personally see a right way and a
wrong way and no compromise needed to do it properly.
You would think you would lean towards conscientiousness since you use
an email address with "phpguru" in it. But I guess anyone can claim
whatever they want... it doesn't make it true. Maybe you could see if
phpsloppypig.org is available (it is btw).
Ah personal insults. Always a good argument.
I couldn't care less what your domain name is, you're still advocating a
poor choice IMHO.
