Your view on coding "preference"

[Excellent2]

To be honest parenthesis means nothing but garbage, I've said it once and I'll say it again Charlie, preference.

If someone wants to use the following:

<?php

echo "Hello";
echo 'Hello';
echo ("Hello");

?>

darn god boy just let them. It does absolutely nothing to the script at all. Yes, the proper way would be to use double quotes, not singles but it works the same anyway. If you spent more time correcting your own code than others you may actually have a point.

Actually in that case the proper way would be to use single quotes.

Dentafrice, I admit that I was wrong, I used a bad example, which I thought was a good example, your benchmarks showed that I was wrong.

Well you just got an example wrong yet you made this thread making digs at the 'preferances' people use - if people are used to coding that way don't have OCD let them code like that because they're probably used to it.

Wow it slows the script down by 1 ms you say? Blimey - that's a lot.

The "proper" way is to do it how you want to, if you can do it other ways and it works identically then there are no "rules" there is no "proper" way, you can do it how you goddamn like, who gives a **** if there's a .003 slowdown, good coders don't "like doing it there way" they simply don't care what you think. Also try ranting at your boss who likes using ("") when you "think" '' is right, see how quickly you find yourself out on your ass.

Stop trying to push your beliefs on other people I don't care what you think, I'm gonna use '', ('') "" and ("") just as much as I want and there's approximately 0% chance (give or take 0%) that anything you can say or do will stop me.

Charlie you and I both know you soley created this thread to have a dig at PHP newbies on here like me etc. Infact nearly everything you've said is wrong and you've made yourself out to be some moaning little boy who wants to join the popular group.

You forget that 2-3 months ago you where still stealing Dentafrice's code and asking him silly questions. Now, because you have a low life job at a going nowhere website you think you're the best coder around - wrong sonny. Whoever told you that using "" or '' would slow down a small script rapidly or that it was wrong is also wrong, make sure you check php.net more often.

You should also concentrate more on your own code rather than others as I'm pretty sure you make a lot of mistakes.

Not to be cliche but we learn from our mistakes

Also, what a useless thread. This was quite obviously intended to start an argument and the stuff you have highlighted is pretty much insignificant as few people on this forum will be building big scripts which will be affected by the whether you use " or '.

:rolleyes:
