The joy of programming....

The joy of programming....searching and debugging for nearly 3 hours...not getting a clear error...just a stupid crash! Then tracing the script causing the error...and noticing error reporting was disabled all this time! Know what it was? A STUPID SEMI COLON!!!! ";" :gun:

After that fix, it worked within 15 minutes! Testing and deploy in production an hour later! At least solved it before the weekend! :D

Yes, this was a work thing in PHP. ;)

PHP is the best. I've been using it for roughly 24 years. Pure PHP with no framework. Frameworks drive me nuts with the code bloat.

I transitioned from Visual Basic 6, VBA and VB.NET to PHP about 15 years ago! Damn! time really flies by.... Introduced me to the "new" syntax and is the reason I could pick up C/C++ much easier in a couple years after starting with PHP.

I am the same. Basically wrote my own framework from scratch.Hiding all the header/footer/sidebar stuff in functions and array to have a "render" function at the end to assemble the HTML and javascript. And a few years ago put PUG templates in for easier HTML form templates and stuff like that. :D

I think I went through vb4, 5, 6 then asp 3 classic. Once I went web and intranet apps I never looked back because the web was so much easier than console executables that you had to compile

    I love it for most things most stores you just shows the receipt online and they scan it

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then I gotta send it back and wait another week or two. I have a pickup truck, with a extended cab, so no prob for me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most manufacturers pack it well enough where they aren't that dumb to let it happen

    Is crazy to think, you used to be able to build a decent PC for $300-400. Those days are way gone.
