Why I hate PHP

**Steve** · 29-10-2009, 03:56 PM

PHP Code:

  int strpos  ( string $haystack  , mixed $needle, ... )

bool in_array  ( mixed $needle  , array $haystack, ... )

That's great, that is.

That part of PHP can be annoying - I use it al the time, but that is one thing I often have to double check

**Steve** · 29-10-2009, 05:04 PM

Yeah, I've only been using PHP for... 6 years or so, but it still catches me out.

Doesn't help when Eclipse isn't in the mood for parameter hinting either.

Or tell me I'm wrong, for some very good reason!

Also, if TheAnimus is around, I should probably say how I'm glad PHP 5.3 supports lambda functions. Shame I don't run 5.3 yet though

Yeah but he is hexus's own seething cauldron of hatred afterall.

Is there anything he likes?

5.3 is a lot nicer - but it's still a pain in some ways

You're not - it has its quirks

I used to use PHP4 a lot but sadly I never really got up to speed on 5. Should brush up on it sometime.

Meh. It does a few particular jobs well. Just stick to the later versions.

I have one to add actually:

Code:

public ArgumentException(
    string message,
    string paramName
)

Code:

public ArgumentNullException(
    string paramName,
    string message
)

Especially nice since ArgumentException is the super of ArgumentNullException
