[Tutorial] - PHP ~ The Basics.

Actually it does make it run faster, time it It saves PHP the time in checking to see if it is enabled.

Actually, if you use professional IDE software, it will put the <?php ?> for you

Actually it does make a difference if you use it or not

I can, and will, find faults in other people's coding, just like I have done on this forum for years.

If you cannot take criticism, get the hell away from D&D, because that all it is.

Thanks, this will definitely get me started

Well done, +REP (if I can)

<? = short tag
<?php = "professional way"

Err, whats the difference? Does it make the code run faster? Does it make it look better? Does it actually even effect anything other than the char count?

Its just a coding preference - it makes no difference in the outcome/performance of the script, If anything it increases coding time (If admittedly by a fraction of a second) But its all personal coding preference, since it makes absolutely no difference on whether you do or DON'T use it then you should stop trying to find faults in other peoples coding. If its not your personal preference - Live with it.

Short tags are not enabled by default and so if you use them on a commercial script, your script will most probably not work on your customer's server/website.

So now we're talking about milliseconds; when PHP is processed it automatically goes through the php.ini to check no matter what, and checking a var if it’s true/false isn't going to change the process time.

I don't use "IDE SOFTWARE," I use a notepad ++; It doesn't make a difference; it’s just another way to code in PHP, its like saying “#” or “//” comments aren't professional but “/* */” comments are.

You’re arguing on material that isn't really predictable, I can take criticism as I said in my previous posts but not suck ups, and certainly not pathetic people who attempt to argue over a little "misfit" because their college Tutor didn't teach them it. There are lots of ways of doing things; it relies on your logic and knowledge of different functions in PHP.

Excuse me?

Me, a suck up? Who am I going to suck up to? I am one of the best coders here, by far better then you. I'm not saying I am the best, but one of them

I don't need a college "tutor" because I didn't go to college, I am currently in University double majoring in both compuer science and business. Probably farther then you will ever get with your pathetic attitude.

It was extremely basic, a bit like introducing typing in a html lesson, but well done anyway!

Oh no, don't give him an idea to do that.

Thank you, it was basic but I guess I shouldn't of even bothered.

Oh no, don't give him an idea to do that.

Don't worry, your saved you didn't even have to read this thread.

Did I actually point out who was sucking up? I didn't need to go to College nor University to get the knowledge of 3 coding languages before I even reached 18; I learnt them myself, it was that easy. The worst thing about it is you actually needed someone to teach you the knowledge that I already know. I don’t need computing for the career path I have chosen, but I would love to see how you get on because you will need English grammar and spelling skills for the job you’re aspiring to; but, unfortunately you’re failing in that sector.

Your "tutorial" and coding advice gives off the impression and shows that you don't know the basics of one of the most popular and ever-growing scripting languages at the moment (PHP).

Ask anyone on this forum, I taught myself, I went to university for the little slips of paper that you get when you graduate. That matter.

I have English and Grammar skills, unlike you, and how am I failing in that "sector", quit trying to use big words, you are failing at it.
