Comment on Difference between if () { } and if () : endif; by Bondt

I used to use the curly braces but now a days I prefer to use this short-hand alternative syntax because of code readability and accessibility.

Comment on PHP extensions won't load on Apache startup by n3rd

the problem here is that apache has loaded PHP, but PHP was not able to load its extension (mysql, postgresql, …).
I think you should enter path values in your php.ini file in unix format (do not use backslash characters as directory separator). so in your php.ini file change this:

extension_dir=”C:/php/ext”

Comment on SEO History and PHP by NickK

Add this to the long list of SEO misinformation that has either come from a misunderstanding of something, or an outright lie. My guess would be that the person who told you this either has a poor understanding of SEO, or they are clueless about developing with PHP and were using vague SEO reasons as an excuse to not work with PHP.

Comment on Best practice: Import mySQL file in PHP; split queries by Matt

You can use phpMyAdmin for importing the file. Even if it is huge, just use UploadDir configuration directory, upload it there and choose it from phpMyAdmin import page. Once file processing will be close to the PHP limits, phpMyAdmin interrupts importing, shows you again import page with predefined values indicating where to continue in the import.

Comment on Is using CSS classes for JS markup a bad practice? by Brian FitzGerald

Brian FitzGerald — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:26:52 +0000

Not a bad idea at all.

That is one of the primary uses of classes.

A class (like and ID) can be used as both a way to style an element and / or a hook for scripting.

In this case, it might be the best possible solution, as it allows for what seems to be minimal markup changes for a wider redesign.

And it is easily reversible.

$rootbeerFloat = (float) $InvoicedUnits;

Should do it for you. Check out Type-Juggling. You should also read String conversion to Numbers.
