Concluding, and one idea...I think I received satisfying advices on everything but first question (Detection of typos and other simple mistakes). And we were talking also about being able to catch them at compile time, then if php at all has compile time etc. Today one thing crossed my mind -- if there is compiler for php maybe it can catch these errors natively, like java compiler for java? Unfortunatelly there is no recent version available for windows so I can't test it myself (http://www.roadsend.com/home/index.php?pageID=compiler). I am interesting if someone is using it, and if it can detect this simple mistakes (I am using eclipse + php plugin, but I feel there is something wrong in depending on editor to detect programming errors :-) ) Regards to all, --- On Thu, 2/26/09, Ovidiu Rosoiu <ovidiu.rosoiu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Ovidiu Rosoiu <ovidiu.rosoiu@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: "use strict" or similar in PHP?
