how about some new template features?
on
PHP 5.4 Released
·
· Score: 2
It'd be really nice if PHP would add some nice template features that Smarty / Twig have. (elseforeach, simple echo htmlentities construct ?)
The developers of PHP are so focused on becoming a real language that they've forgotten what PHP is all about: templating! There's no real focus on adding template features (ok... I don't have to type array now...).
My Dad's company is switching their OS from Win2k to Vista for ALL their corporate computers and servers. They have 66,000 employees.
I asked him why he's doing this, since after every major release of windows it's been nothing but bugs and security holes for 6+ months. His comments "ya, it'll be buggy and a security risk, but they'll eventually get it fixed."
I also asked who's bright idea this was. Apparently the CTO who's going to be retiring in 5 years.
The numbers for Vista are probably higher than you'd think.

ah I see, and some rumour started by some random person is more credible? right...
I cannot believe anyone would expect a confirmation that from him IF that was the truth.
Is a rumour truth?
There is not one bit of evidence that SWG is losing the license. Not one. There's lots of evidence that suggests SWG is doomed, but that doesn't mean they are losing the license.
Gotta love those rumours: "Sony Online may soon be losing the rights to the Star Wars license."
2) No - in fact LucasArts isn't "pulling the Star Wars" license or anything of the kind. We have a very long term deal and things are fine between our companies. It's complete and utter fabrication. I feel like we need extra-special tin-foil hats in the shape of Darth Vader's mask or something. What happens is one website writes something - then 5 more link to it.. so it must all of a sudden be true. I wish it worked that way.

Implementing ANSI SQL standard ways of using existing MySQL features
means there will be fewer unpleasant surprises ("gotchas") for those
migrating to MySQL from other database systems:
- Strict Mode: MySQL 5.0 adds a mode that complies with standard SQL
in a number of areas in which earlier versions did not; we now do
strict data type checking and issue errors for all invalid dates,
numbers and strings as expected

Search for nvidia geforce with the slider full on research and the sponsors will always be "buy nvidia" shops. However, the search results were (from what I could tell) 100% reviews and such.
Pretty cool tool, surprised google didn't come out with this first!
Actually, I've registered about 5 domains recently at Go-Daddy (3 of which were transfers) and All options were defaulted off. All I had to do was find the "Continue" button and that was it.
It's true they try to upsell a lot of stuff but I'm not sure where you're getting the "marked 'Yes' by default"
test=# describe foobar;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "describe" at character 1
ERROR: syntax error at or near "describe" at character 1
but once again, where is it in the docs? It's small stuff like this that once again show MySQL is much easier on beginners.
And I don't know where you get the idea that replace is any better than update... set... where... functionality. I guess I just don't think in "replace" anymore (FoxPro has it, and I used to use it all the time).
Well I never said it was better but if you want to insert a record and if it encounters a duplicate it just does an automatic delete / insert automatically, replace is your friend. It's rather nice since all other methods require 2 queries. It's not good in all situations, but for some it's nice.
If not, and if you're looking to start learning about a database and actually have a choice, it seems that you're much better off looking at an alternative database.... whether it be a free one such as Postgres, or one of the big ones such as Oracle or SQL Server.
I'd still recommend MySQL if you are just starting to learn SQL language. If, however, you are looking for a fully robust database with 100% guaranteed data integrity, I'd say go with Postgres.
I always remember 2 years ago when I first started researching free SQL databases. I tried out MySQL and Postgres. I stuck with MySQL because it was easier to setup, the documentation was much better and at the time it was much faster. It also didn't have an easy way to get the recently inserted auto increment field. Fast forward to today, I now use Innodb for my tables and am willing to sacrifice some speed for more integrity.
After the news story a couple days ago, I went and installed Postgres and here's my experience.
Setup was pretty straightforward.
Documentation is pretty good though MySQL docs are still about twice as good.
I still can't figure out how to get the list of tables that my db currently has. I've searched the docs. Please enlighten me.
I also still can't figure out how to get the definition for a table I just created. Feel free to point me to a page that shows my stupidity (or ineptitude in reading / searching docs)
After going through the docs and trying some of the advanced features (things that MySQL doesn't have). I really love VIEWS.
Postgres still doesn't have REPLACE even though it is not a standard SQL command, it's still nice at times. I could probably learn to live without it now though.
With these things being said, I'd probably use Postgres over MySQL now. Why?
1) I don't need commercial support
2) I haven't worked on a project in a long time that requires speed over data integrity.
3) VIEWS
If I needed commercial support for a project though, I'd obviously have to drop Postgres. Since MySQL is the cheapest out there and it now does support some base level transactions, It's definetly the best bang for your buck. Oracle is pretty damn expensive.
Every object documented as a "moon" requires a black slab with dimensions factored by 1x3x9 burried beneath the surface and upon touching this slab, releases a high pitched screetch.

In your comparison, you are using a beta version of Chrome. How is that a fair comparison?

More importantly: Why would the BBC require you to use a Browser to view a video?

Google can do no wrong on this site.
For all you Postgres trolls saying how Postgress isn't a real database. Please put all your flames/comments into this thread. thx.
oh wait minute...
Sound Goood?
Congrats Microsoft!
They should be rewarded for their breakthrough innovations and competitive pricing!
Oh wait a minute... replace "breakthrough innovations and competitive pricing" with "Monopoly"
So what does the future hold for PHP? I can't seem to find any information on PHP 5.1.
Anyone have any secret tidbits?

PHP5 Definetly has Try / Catch. I've been using php5 a lot for the past 4 months and it's exception handling (so far) is great.
Beats the stupid return error checks!
And here's a page that lists in great detail all the changes:

Ok, but where is it in the documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/
describe your_tablename doesn't work. \d works
test=# describe foobar;

quickly searching through the book yields 1x4x9, thanks for the correction =)
