[dcphp-dev] [JOB] PHP developer (contract)
Hi, everyone, it was good to meet a number of you at the monthly meeting last week. Thanks, Eli, for an informative presentation--you inspired me to finally dive into PHP 7 over the weekend. I'm looking for a freelance PHP developer to assist me with one or more projects on an ongoing basis. The first and most urgent is a website built with Drupal and Magento, with a custom registration system similar to evite.com. Knowledge of one of these platforms is a requirement. Knowledge of both would be a huge plus. Bonus points, too, for familiarity with the Salesforce API, which is an integral part of the system. With the exception of a face-to-face interview and occasional (roughly monthly) meetings, work will be done remotely and hours are flexible. If interested, please email me (timothybu...@gmail.com). Thanks.

[dcphp-dev] [JOB] Junior PHP developer
Hi, everyone, I'm looking to hire a junior PHP developer to join my growing software business, which consists of myself (full-time) and another senior developer (part-time). Unlike a lot of other firms, mine focuses on custom, enterprise-level applications. Projects have included homegrown CMS, CRM, e-commerce, and ERP systems, and several have spanned years. In other words, you would not just be churning out websites or putting out fires, so to speak. Required skills are as follows: * PHP, including at least one framework * JavaScript, esp. jQuery * MySQL * Experience with one or more APIs Pay is competitive and hours are flexible, and you would be working at a great coworking space with free coffee/tea, video games, putting green, comfy couches and other amenities. Please email me your resume at tim@linchpin.software if you're interested.

[dcphp-dev] Re: Global Variables Question
I agree with Ray that dependency injection is a more elegant solution to the problem. It makes certain resources, for example, a database connection, available throughout an application or framework, while minimizing mutability and the problems & confusion that come with it. Here's another article that talks about it in the context of the broader concept of Inversion of Control: https://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html. For a more concrete example of global variables at work, check out the source code for WordPress or common WordPress plugins, where you'll see a smattering of "global $post" (the current blog post) and "global $user" (the current user). Then consider this question: should the record of the current user really be open to global changes? If it's altered within a certain plugin (i.e., module), changing the user's role from guest to administrator, what mayhem might ensue elsewhere in the system? I would also add--to give a bigger picture view--that functional programming is taking off because of this very problem, giving rise to (relatively) new languages such as Scala, Clojure, etc. The functional programming paradigm dictates that programs be stateless and immutable (the very antithesis of global variables and state), which can have huge benefits for certain applications (and be highly impractical for others).
