$ci = $this->paymentMethod;

$cc['CC_CardType'] = $ci['CC_CardType'];
$cc['CC_Number'] = $ci['CC_Number'];
$cc['CC_ExpMonth'] = $ci['CC_ExpMonth'];
$cc['CC_ExpYear'] = $ci['CC_ExpYear'];
$cc['CC_Name'] = $ci['CC_Name'];
$cc['CC_Street'] = $ci['CC_Street'];
$cc['CC_City'] = $ci['CC_City'];
$cc['CC_State'] = $ci['CC_State'];
$cc['CC_Country'] = $ci['CC_Country'];
$cc['CC_Zip'] = $ci['CC_Zip'];

$p->loadCreditCardPayment($cc, $total, 0);

First it copies A ($this->paymentMethod) to B ($ci), then copies each value of B in to C ($cc), and then passes C to the function. That’s right, 3 copies of the same data, and 14 lines of code. One could also have just passed A to the function, as so:

$p->loadCreditCardPayment($this->paymentMethod, $total, 0);

It’s kinda like pouring a drink that’s already in glass in to another glass, then using a spoon to move the liquid in to a different glass, then drinking from that last glass… why not just drink from the glass it was originally in? o_O

Now I totally understand that for doc-generating programs, and certain IDEs, you’re meant to put comments above your functions describing them and the parameters use… but who does this (above)? Are you really so stupid that you need to put the function’s name in a comment above… the function’s name?

You, sir, should not be coding.

This release contains:

• Php 5.2.13
• Apache 2.2.15
• PhpMyAdmin 3.3.1-rc1
• MySQL 5.1.44

This is an unofficial updated version of USB Webserver. The original USB Webserver was created by http://www.usbwebserver.nl – but their site is currently down, and they haven’t released an update for a while.

This version contains:

Apache: 2.2.11
PHP: 5.2.10-dev (with GD and cURL)
MySQL: 5.1.30-community (with InnoDB)

It defaults to “English” (the original was “Dutch”), and you may need to change the ports if you have been using USB Webserver previously.

Download: “USB Webserver 8.0 (unofficial).zip” (17.6mb)

(and yes, I know the main USB Webserver screen still says “USB Webserver 7.0″ – ignore that :P)

Luckily I came across this blog post, which not only tells you how to to install the extension (adding 1 line to your “php.ini” file) but also linked to a PHP 5.2.* version of the it. I decided to mirror it, for anyone else trying to find it:

php_memcache.dll (49kb)

I changed the font and colours (for PHP files anyway), removed the other languages, enabled the auto-complete dropdown, changed the menus, included the PHP binary to check files for syntax errors, and included phpStylist to beautify source code. I also made a new icon, and added the latest “php.api”, and made F1 (help) open the PHP manual (included).

I made this package for my own personal use, and possibly that of friends, and I offer NO (as in ZERO) support for it. I will also not be held responsible for any damages caused – you use this at your own risk. Please do not contact the authors of SciTE regarding bugs or problems as I have made several modifications to the compiled executable that may result in all sorts of bugs – which they aren’t responsible for.

That said, I hope you will find this packge useful. Once you’ve opened a PHP file (with “PHP-SciTE.exe”) press F5 to check for syntax errors, F7 to run the PHP script currently open, and CTRL+F7 to tidy your source code.

Please realize that your code will be changed to how I like my code formatted which might frustrate you… the settings passed to phpStylist are in “php_tidy.bat” if you want to change them.

I really don’t know SciTE that well, and most of what I’ve done has just been lucky guessing, so I probably wont be able to help you with questions but if you want to get hold of me you can e-mail me at: php-scite[at]hypn.za.net

UPDATE: first bug :( the “Check Syntax” menu item (under “Tools”) says the hotkey is CTRL+F5, but it’s actually just F5.
