Not to sort of start (another) holy war on this list, but it's ugly
blocks of code like this that pushed me into using PDO.
This, IMO, is so much easier to read:
try {
$stmt = $pdo->prepare();
$stmt->bindValue();
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->numRows();
} catch (PDOException $p) {
//do stuff
}
I would much rather try/catch exceptions than clutter up code with
hundreds of if/elseif/else statements.
This is just my opinion, of course :)
