Hello members,
I'm hoping you could enlighten me.
Using error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT, I tested the
following statements:
PHP interprets \\ inside of '' to turn \\ into \
It also tries to be halfway smart about mistakes with \ followed by
some other non-special character, by just pretending you knew what you
were doing and had \\ there to get just one \, even though you didn't.
Not that I can deny Richard's infinite knowledge of PHP (and it
*eating* code), but is it PHP's responsibility to determine what the
user has typed is (in)correct AND try to *fix* it? Shouldn't PHP just
assume the programmer is not a complete idiot? If there's an error/
warning/etc, throw it but don't correct it.
My $.02. Feel free to set me straight - I'm always up for learning.
~Phil
