Calling people you don't like "literally Nazis" without any hint of irony is so common it's not even worth mentioning. On top of that, if your logic applies then people who want the CoC would want to make as many flame-baiting and offensive comments against the CoC as they can, because that would make their position stronger. Again, circular logic is one hell of a drug. As an aside, isn't CoC also the acronym for some weird text-based porn game created on /v/ or something?<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

Functions are second-class citizens, variable scope is wonky, the syntax (and everything else) is inconsistent, etc...<|eor|><|sor|>> Functions are second-class citizens We've had first-class functions since PHP 5.3, like few years ago. And we've had objects for longer than this, which are pretty good stand-ins for first-class functions (pass "closed over" vars to constructor, have a single method), in terms of raw capability. > variable scope is wonky Variables in functions have function scope. It's not ideal but "wonky" is not the word I'd use. You won't get surprise scope on your variables. Either they're function-scope, or if explicitly imported, global, which no one does anymore so... they're function scope. That's all. > the syntax (and everything else) is inconsistent It's butt-ugly, but not inconsistent, there's a difference.<|eor|><|sor|>> We've had first-class functions since PHP 5.3, like few years ago. No, you have not. You have an anonymous function syntax literal that generates "closure objects", which do not behave like PHP objects in any way, but behave more like their own kind of primitive. No, seriously, check it out; open `php -a` and start playing with them. The only thing closure objects and functions have in common is that they are called with the same syntax; the only thing regular objects and closure objects have in common is that both of them claim to be objects. Setting these closures aside, functions are still not first-class in PHP. You can't take, say, `array_slice` or `my_silly_function` or `my_object->my_method` and put them on variables; it is just not a thing that you can do. Functions are definitely, absolutely, undoubtedly not first-class primitives in PHP. There is simply no way around it. There are some magical, hardcoded "closure objects" you can use the same way you use functions, and those are first-class indeed. But that doesn't mean functions are closure objects; if you have a horse and some wheels, you still don't have a car. > And we've had objects for longer than this, which are pretty good stand-ins for first-class functions (pass "closed over" vars to constructor, have a single method), in terms of raw capability. I... I can't even respond to this. It's technically correct, yet so irrelevant and far-removed from the way actual humans use programming languages that I find myself unable to reason about it.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

PHP is not a bad "first language" to learn, especially if the end goal is "make a site that's not just HTML and teach them something other than JS."

In fact, I would definitely recommend learning it to people who use PHP: it's philosophy is essentially the exact opposite: incorrectness is not allowed, strong/static types [and subtypes] help you to know where you're messing up, and the module system's division of specification and implementation really encourage *designing*.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

Although the script still returns exit status 255 which is completely undocumented. Well, except that under exit() in the manuel, there's a mention: If status is an integer, that value will also be used as the exit status. Exit statuses should be in the range 0 to 254, **the exit status 255 is reserved by PHP and shall not be used**. The status 0 is used to terminate the program successfully. So yeah, it's an code reserved for PHP (which in itself is fair enough), but it's not clear when it's used. Googling will reveal many frustrated users, and the best guess seems to center around "bad silent error", which certainly fits this scenario. /rage off..<|eoopr|><|eoss|><|endoftext|>

However, I believe there is an equally-valid argument that anyone who writes things in the form: $x = condition ? condition ? value : value : value; ought to be shot<|eor|><|sor|>It's much better if you format it a bit like Lisp: $x = condition ? value : condition ? value : value; Well, using proper operator precedence.<|eor|><|sor|>Another variant is $x = condition? value : condition? value : /*otherwise*/ value ...giving it a bit of a `cond`-style look (again, assuming proper operator precedence).<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

It is *much* easier to solve this specific problem by enforcing structure though.<|eor|><|sor|>No, I said I hate languages that force me to do so. That should be the developer's choice, because sometimes there is a reason not to do so. It just doesn't make sense to make it a compiler error. >That'a big difference. Well, since PHP is an interpreted language there are no real compile-time checks, so this is something you have to deal with when using PHP anyway. Therefore, it is not directly related to this discussion. >Sure, proper tokens in PHP would be nice, but that's never gonna happen. It is much easier to solve this specific problem by enforcing structure though. In fact this alone wouldn't solve anything in this case. One would still have to enforce autoloading which is not enabled by default (usually I would say there surely is a good reason for that decision, but lol, it's PHP). Anyway, if the PHP developers decided to make autoloading optional, generally enforcing a certain structure is just nonsense. The default autoloader implementation does require that structure and if you write your own one, you can do so, too, so I don't see a problem or lolphp here. As I said, the lack of tokens is the actual problem here (and tokens would be the only clean solution). And even if we can't have tokens (why not? let those old get_class-like functions stay in the old core for BC and create a completely new one), they could at least check, if the accessed class is known in the current scope instead of just returning a string with a non-existent class name. I start to like my approach of just adding a *const CLASSNAME = \_\_CLASS\_\_;* to every class. If I access that, at least I know the class exists.<|eor|><|eoss|><|endoftext|>

But for ::class resolution to work *properly* (i.e error out if no such class exists) something like PSR-4 *must* be enforced at the language level so the runtime will know where to look *without* `require()`ing the file. This is obviously never gonna happen, so PHP will never be able to tell whether `Foo\Bar\Baz::class` actually exists or not.<|eor|><|sor|>Still, I don't remember the last time I saw an error - class not found.

And back then, given PHP's web focus, sure, it was the only string parsing at all in the library and it was called parse_str(). PHP has arguably evolved more from its origin than any other language I can think of (maybe Python is a close second). The standard library of any language has odd bits like that which are left in for BC. See C, C++, Java.<|eor|><|sor|>Oh, PHP standard library. C11 has removed `gets()` finally. And speaking of K&R C, it was built in times when linkers cannot parse identifiers larger than 8 characters, it has some decent names because of that. But PHP is a dynamic language here, so there is no sane reason for calling function `gzgetss()`. Speaking of Java, it has some downsides (like redesigning calendars several times), but IMO it is example how API can be _designed_ with _beauty_ in it, not just collecting a random functions with random parameters. Actually they have a chance to fix that with PHP7, but again... wasted it: http://www.reddit.com/r/lolphp/comments/2xrk10/chump_tries_to_have_phps_functions_be_renamed_to/<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

I would agree. Dynamic typing doesn't *have* to be weak. Lisp, for example, has some good typing and error-handling facilities and is dynamically typed. Conversely, something like Ada is statically typed, with a good typing system. (And there's others w/ good/interesting type-systems like Haskell, Agda, and Coq.) The weak typing (esp implicit conversions) in conjunction with poor subprogram spec-ing simply kill the usefulness of the the language's usability for any sort of non-trivial or non-small project. (By "*subprogram spec-ing*", I mean that you cannot be assured the return type, if it returns, the parameter-types, and therefore cannot be assured of *anything* by looking at the function header: it reduces ***every*** act of code inspection to an exercise in tracing the code.)<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

It's how you send a file instead of raw data. Not really PHP's fault.<|eor|><|sor|>No, it is entirely PHP's fault. libcurl has no such limitation, in fact it does not implement this '@'-behavior at all. It's implemented in the PHP bindings. And command-line curl has an option to turn off the '@'-interpretation, which was not copied by the PHP bindings.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>

In any case, if you're not sending any files, you probably want to use curl_setopt(_, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($array)); Besides not accidentally leaking files, it also uses application/x-www-form-urlencoded rather than multipart/form-data, saving a few bytes.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|>
