Re: [PHP] $$var
If $a = 'foo' and $$a = nothing (i.e. no value assigned to $foo) you will get an error if you tried to use this to do something else.

Re: [PHP] Howdy (new in here)
@tedd I was interested about the reasons why people perceive php as a poor language. I came across the following stackoverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/309300/defend-php-convince-me-it-isnt-horrible The guy answering him immediately after brought up some very good rebuttals, however, there are some really fundamental things that people have come to expect from programming languages that php doesn't offer and this is probably why people have issues with it. Two in particular, that people might have issues with, were brought up: 1. method/function name insensitivity 2. inconsistent naming of built in and library functions However, since this is an open-source project behind some of the biggest internet based businesses, I am personally quite fond of it. I have no issues with the language as the above two points can easily be countered with a good IDE or a little experience. Finally, I would like to say, if you are going to look for it, you can find faults with any and all programming languages. It comes down to preference, that is why you have people in the industry coding things with Java instead of C++, or vice versa, even though the other might be better for the application.

Re: [PHP] Howdy (new in here)
I would say all languages have their 'lousy developers', however, since very few schools focus on teaching the 'proper coding style' for PHP it leads to people learning from a variety of resources available online, and this leads to them receiving mixed messages from the tutorials and allowing people the ability to choose the method they prefer. Since there is very little syntactic consistency among the code produced by developers, it leads to the perception that the developers are 'lousy'.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Question
everyone I know who uses dreamweaver does so because the people that are supervising the project want to use dreamweaver, otherwise I haven't found anyone who actually liked using it. So I don't know if that actually means anything but that's the way it is. I guess it would be important to remember that as long as you clearly understand what you are doing it hardly matters whether you use notepad or something much more sophisticated, which also completes a bunch of tasks for you. I just went back and read the original post and realized the recent discussion has nothing to do with it. Awesome.

Re: [PHP] Re: Do you trim() usernames and passwords?
Won't there also be a higher chance of getting your username/password combination stolen if you are keylogged, if you are typing in your passwords all day everyday? Obviously, the people on this list will say "I don't get keylogged, cause I am that pro" but whatever, just don't force people to enter passwords, no one appreciates it.
