PHP perhaps the ugliest language ever

[Ardesco]

Ardesco's top PHP tips for the day:

Don't waste time with all the gubbins like this when printing a value out...

<?php echo("Hello World"); ?>

Instead enable short tags and do it the easy way!!

<?="Hello World"?>

Secondly don't waste space with long winded if else statements...

if ($myVar == $foo)
{
  $match=TRUE;
}
else
{
  $match=FALSE;
}

Instead use the ternary operator!

$myVar == $foo ? $match=TRUE : $match=FALSE;

Enjoy

Can you give an example, along with the equivalent C#, so I can understand your point?

I made a late at night TPD post about VB which would make you understand better. NF, being the true gentleman he is, was actually graceful enough to PM me about it to alert me to his reply:

As for Tays comment of NF being boring... the answer has to be no (except when he starts on about ******* macs)
But then Tay is a new zealander so I wouldn't expect any better from him

We all work in IT, it's safe to say that the rest of the world see us all us geeks.

I mean, these are some of the most successful people in our profession.

Looks logical to me.

You saying C# doesn't allow default properties/methods so the scenario in that link cannot occur?

The way I see it, VB.Net is a pot noodle and C# is Wagamamas.

Everyone looked like that in the 70s. That's not a recent photo is it?

C Sharp or VB.NET. Not really bothered which one is used. Haven't found any real world problems that can be solved with one that cant be solved with the other.

Application architecture is more important than language IMO.

NF made an entire website to analyse the posting stats of the TPD thread didnt he? Yeah he is a bundle of laughs.....

But doesn't that add to the "ugliness" factor since it makes it that much harder to read and understand?

Actually, no, he didn't.

Apart from that minor point, you're right, as with all your other posts.

When is it you'll be leaving us, or is it just another vague promise along the lines of "SKA will be coming soon"?

Who did create that site then? Hope it was you... that would be to funny... after saying NF was not boring as you found him interesting!

Your snide post would have been more effective if you had realised I asked a question and didnt make a statement that he had created it....
