Hello group, I am a new and just an occasional user of PHP and would like some direction. I find the use of bare strings as array keys pleasant to work with, easy on the eye and quick to type. I understand that this use of bare strings is not encouraged because of possible conflicts with key words and constants and to a lesser degree loss of some performance. I tend to use all capitals for my constants and never for my array keys (if bare). In addition, collisions with PHP keywords fails fast when they happen. My application is for personal use, and any performance degradation is insignificant. However, I can imagine having collisions with constants defined by libraries that I may use. Have you found the use of bare strings a significant issue? Or do the benefits outweigh the dangers? Perl and Tcl both have them. I like them in PHP too. Thanks. -- Regards Evil Son -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
