[PHP] Feature request for print_r() and var_dump()
I suggest a slight but useful change to these two functions, or possibly an alternate parameter. I find myself always having to do this annoyance: echo BmyDevice/BBR; print_r($myDevice); To get: myDevice Array ( [] = Array ( [range] = range_3 [scanner] = scanner_3 [record] = record_3 ) [] = Array ( [range] = range_4 [scanner] = scanner_4 [record] = record_4 ) ) It seems to me the functions should just print out the name of the array you're looking at, at the very top, just as it prints out the keys. I already know it's an Array or I wouldn't be print_r()'ing it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

from a library standpoint, it's generally just a hassle to include it and then pray you didn't have some whitespace following. I hadn't thought of it that way. I run everything through a code cleaner to prevent just that, but it might be nice to stop doing so. code is cleaner if it has no HTML content (unless via print or echo) and you don't include the closing tag. For small blocks of HTML, I'm inclined to agree. I still prefer that large blocks be printed plainly, both from an editing and (slight) performance standpoint, but I see where you're coming from.

[PHP] Feature Suggestion
If this is the wrong place for it, please point me to the right place. This is real small, though.. I'd like to see a shorthand for defining arrays.. for example $ucase_alphabet = array(['A'..'Z']); (creates an array of all alphabet characters, uppercase) $numeric = array([1..100]); Or something of that sort. Just something that popped into my mind. PHP feels like a language that has been built on little suggestions like this, so I thought I'd post it. :) Mike -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Feature?
Follow up to my own message:
If you want to also skip even needing the empty 'array()' (new fianl
example) - check if it is an array, and only do the first extract of
the parameters if there's something there.
?php
function foo($p='')
{
$foodefault = array(
'foo_fred'= 'strongdefault fred/strong',
'foo_banana' = 'strongdefault bananananana/strong',
);
if (is_array($p))
extract ($p, EXTR_PREFIX_ALL, 'foo'); // get values
extract ($foodefault, EXTR_SKIP, foo);// get defaults
echo $foo_fred / $foo_banana;
}
echo Both in place: ;
foo(array('fred' = 'hello', 'banana' = 'world'));
echo br / Now with a missing param: ;
foo(array('fred' = 'hello'));
echo br / Now both missing params: ;
foo(array());
echo br / and with no array: ;
foo();

[PHP] Feature?
After some days spent in a hospital reading Programming Perl and Oracle Web
Applications I found that a language construct
which appears in Perl and PL/SQL is not available in PHP.
As in most 3G languages function call is like that
$bar=foo($bar1,$bar2,$bar3,'bar4');
function foo($par1=1,$par2=2,$par3=3,$par4='foo_bar',...){
...
}
In the case when I've few parameters I've to remember their order, so why not
$bar=foo('par2'=10);
I want to pass value to only one or more but not to all params. Also this will make
the code clearer I think.
Comments are welcome!

AFAIK, Perl doesn't support named parameters (it's listed for Perl 6).
Since C does not support this, almost all C-like languages also do not
support this. The only exception I know of is Objective-C, which is the
base language for Apple's new Unix-based Mac OS X.
As for PHP supporting named parameters, it seems silly to preserve C's
use of parentheses. Why not do something more radical like Objective-C
that draws from Smalltalk syntax:
$bar = [foo par2:10]

You can emulate this with arrays:

[PHP] feature that should be there and isn't
in php to have a "optional" parameter in a function you can do:
function foo($var='')
{
}
To have it be default to 'bar' you can do:
function foo($var='bar')
{
}
BUT you can't do this:
function foo($var=date("Y-m-d"))
{
}
Why? This would be a kick ass little trick!

The question is: when do you resolves something like this?
Is it at "compile time" or at "function call" time. That could
get really nasty if the functions had internal counters etc.
