Why don't it be open source best tool or platform.
Then people should create what is useful for others to benefit. Then we rate rate by most useful.

This thread is encouraging bad programming practice. You are meant to split your projects into bits and pieces, how can you be writing 100000 lines into a single file? E gba mi o!
You are right, very bad practice except the person pays for creating new file.

Sorry to burst your bubble, I actually started out wit php and most of my initial projects were usually CRUD based, bet now tat I Ave to work on larger projects where I have to manage a lot of background jobs, process scheduling, garbage collection, communicate wit system kernel and sorts of other things, PHP is no where near those fields and those fields are some of the basics of operating systems........

@OP sincerely speaking men php sucks and is for. School kids to g things done, not for enterprise projects
Good for you, if you know php no longer serve you well, move on.
No need to criticize the language, when you know it no longer meet your needs. Don't forget it brought you this far.
Programming / Re: Let's Be Honest Php Sucks When Building Enterprise Applications by guru01(m): 1:42am On Oct 05, 2016
islam1001:

I REALLY THINK PEOPLE SHOULD STOP MAKING NOISE ABOUT PHP , TO ME PHP SUCKS AND THIS ARE MY REASONS :----


The ternary operator

In most programming languages the ternary operator is right-to-left assocative. This allows you to write things like this:

print((foo == 1) ? "uno" : (foo == 2) ? "dos" : "tres"wink;
print("\n"wink;

This chunk of code obviously outputs the word uno.

PHP's implementation of this operator has left-to-right. I dare you to guess what the following PHP snippet outputs:

<?php
$foo = 1;
print(($foo === 1) ? "uno" : ($foo === 2) ? "dos" : "tres"wink;
print("\n"wink;
# (I use the === operator out of good habit.)
?>

Hint: it's not the word uno.
The || and && operators

In non-retarded programming languages, they return either the result of the left operand or the result of the right operand.

In PHP, 5 || 4 returns 1. 0 || 6 returns 1.

While most people use || as a "default value" operator:

$foo = $bar || "default value";

this cannot be done in PHP.
Invoking external programs

PHP does not provide multi-argument forms of system(), exec(), or other built-in functions. There is the pcntl extension, which is not enabled by default.
Higher-Order Programming

If you're forced to use a version of PHP older than 5.3, you don't get closures.
Other Issues

In PHP, the names of built-in functions are inconsistent. Is it isset() or is_set()? Is it isnull() or is_null()? Is it sort() or array_sort()? Is it merge() or array_merge()? Even I don't remember. I have to look up the PHP documentation to answer these. I'll let you do the same.

The arguments to built-in functions are inconsistent.

The built-in functions' return values are inconsistent.

The number of built-in functions is too large. Do we really need 11 sort functions (scroll down)?

Function names are case-insensitive, but variable names are case-sensitive. WHY?

As I've stated above, the vast majority of official and user-contributed documentation is poor.

PHP's authors have made a few non-backward-compatible changes to the language. Not just between PHP4 and PHP5, but in minor point releases of PHP4.
Magic Quotes

There is also the fact that PHP ever had the magic_quotes feature in the first place. While it's been turned off by default for quite some time, and will be removed from PHP 6, it will still affect you for some time to come in the following situations:

When writing programs to distribute to other people who may be running PHP4 or PHP5. Such as yet another forum or CRM package.
When writing programs you may port from one operating system to another someday. Even if both are running the same version of PHP...

...You see, there's one particular PHP feature called magic_quotes_gpc, where things get "interesting". It is on by default in PHP4. It is off by default in PHP5 on certain Linux distributions; on in others. You can probably stick "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc" off in apache.conf or .htaccess. But some shared-hosting providers make this impossible. In the worst case, you may very well have to pollute your code with things like this. (There are common techniques such as ereg_replace("/\\/", ""wink that a lot of programmers use, which do not work right in all cases.
From what you have written so far, I can tell you are in experience using php. You better stick with what is you know how to use and let php be.

Programming / Re: Why There Are Few African Programmers by guru01(m): 3:49pm On Sep 15, 2016
DonSegmond:

So? DId you ever study economics? Do so. Learn about cost of living.

Americans pay taxes. That's why things are nice over there. Like 30% of their income. So take home pay for that is going to be about $36-$49k.
Which is $3250 to $4083 a month. I didn't add Social Security Taxes and other misc taxes. About 30% is fine.


But here's a quick breakdown of non optional monthly expense.

Retirement 401k - $300
Rent - $1000 ( if Mortgage then $1600+$200 property tax + $200 HOA fees + $100 home insurance. - $2100) This is in a cheap city.
Health Insurance - $200
Car payment - $250
Car Insurance - $150
Car repair/budget - $80
Car parking/wash/others - $50 (In Chicago, downtown parking costs $48 a day, getting dedicated parking downtown is going to cost $500/month easy)
Cell phone bill - $50
Cable/Home internet bill - $100
Electrical bill - $50 (if you live in hot place, you will see $150 when your AC runs all day)
Natural Gas bill - $50 (If you live in a cold place, you can see $150-$250 during winter months)
Water sewer bill - $40
Gasoline bill - $70
Food - $200 (This means no eating out, you are cooking, eating out is like $10 for a cheap meal, if you did that 3x a day that's $30 or $900 a month)
Grocery - $100
Student Loan - $200 (This is cheap, College is now easily costing about $80,000)
Personal care - $100 (Women pay $100 to get cheap hair done that lasts a week, $20-$25 haircut/facial shave)
Entertainment/Social - $200
Vacation - $0. Flight begins at around $200 to most places, hotel rooms $100/night. So no vacation.

Total is $2880. If you were buying a house, then it would be $3980. Mortgage is monthly for 30yrs. With mortgage, you get lawn, snow shoveling and home maintenance expenses.

This is without girlfriend/wife/boyfriend expenses.

If you have kids, child care will easily run you $1000 month.

Even tho you have insurance, you still pay your deductibles, which can easily be anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 a year. If you have car accident, get speed ticket, your car insurance goes up and you pay tickets, or insurance deductible of around $500 to get your car repaired.

So there you go $3250 to $4900. You are single, no vacation, eating mostly at home. You are saving $370 to $2000. At $51k, you can't buy a house. Buy a house while making $70k and your savings drop to $920.

Have an emergency and you are done. Visit Naija in December and flight will cost you $2,000. A lot of people in American are in debt, what they get is a "comfortable" life but not plenty of cash.
I strongly agree with you.
