  8. Hello from Italy :)

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    Hello Manuel, welcome aboard. :( Good to have one from Italy here ... I have been there twice already - once in Rimini (school trip! :D) and once in Venetia (awesome city).

    My name is Tim, but you can call me Timbo. Together with my Community Guardians I hold the community part of the Wildfire Games fort. :P

    In my real life I am currently a student in Berlin/Germany - it will be my last year before I will apply to an university.

    Welcome again. ;)

    Oh and maybe you want to generally switch to K&R-style brackets usage. That means that you do

    1: 
    2: function someFunction() {
    3: //
    4: //
    5: //
    6: }
    7: 

    instead of

    1: 
    2: function someFunction() 
    3: {
    4: //
    5: //
    6: //
    7: }
    8: 

    It is the general style most Java and PHP coders use. Here's an example of what the difference could be:

    Without K&R style:

     1: <?php
     2: require_once(VIEW_HELPER_PATH.'ViewHelper.class.php');
     3: 
     4: class AlternatingRowColorer extends ViewHelper 
     5: {
     6: 	private $rows;
     7: 	private $anchor;
     8: 	private $cssClass1;
     9: 	private $cssClass2;
    10: 	
    11: 	/**
    12:   * Our constructor
    13:   * takes the rows and the css anchor names
    14:   * @param $rows An array of strings
    15:   * @param $anchor The anchor that will be replaced
    16:   * @param $cssClass1 The first css class replacer
    17:   * @param $cssClass2 The second css class replacer
    18:   */
    19: 	public function __construct($rows=array(), $anchor, $cssClass1, $cssClass2) 
    20: 	{
    21:   $this->rows=$rows;
    22:   $this->anchor=$anchor;
    23:   $this->cssClass1=$cssClass1;
    24:   $this->cssClass2=$cssClass2;
    25: 	}
    26: 	
    27: 	/**
    28: 	* Processing function
    29: 	* Does the actual replacing of anchars with css classes
    30: 	* @return an array of altered strings
    31: 	*/	
    32: 	public function fetch() 
    33: 	{
    34:   $i=0;
    35:   
    36:   foreach($this->rows as $row) 
    37:   {
    38:   	if($i % 2 == 0) 
    39:   	{
    40:     $row=str_replace($this->anchor, "class=\"".$this->cssClass1."\"", $row);
    41:   	} 
    42:   	else 
    43:   	{
    44:     $row=str_replace($this->anchor, "class=\"".$this->cssClass2."\"", $row);
    45:   	}
    46:   	
    47:   	$this->rows[$i]=$row;
    48:   	$i++
    49:   }
    50:   
    51:   return $this->rows;
    52: 	}
    53: }
    54: ?>
    55: 

    With K&R style:

     1: 
     2: <?php
     3: require_once(VIEW_HELPER_PATH.'ViewHelper.class.php');
     4: 
     5: class AlternatingRowColorer extends ViewHelper {
     6: 	private $rows;
     7: 	private $anchor;
     8: 	private $cssClass1;
     9: 	private $cssClass2;
    10: 	
    11: 	/**
    12:   * Our constructor
    13:   * takes the rows and the css anchor names
    14:   * @param $rows An array of strings
    15:   * @param $anchor The anchor that will be replaced
    16:   * @param $cssClass1 The first css class replacer
    17:   * @param $cssClass2 The second css class replacer
    18:   */
    19: 	public function __construct($rows=array(), $anchor, $cssClass1, $cssClass2) {
    20:   $this->rows=$rows;
    21:   $this->anchor=$anchor;
    22:   $this->cssClass1=$cssClass1;
    23:   $this->cssClass2=$cssClass2;
    24: 	}
    25: 	
    26: 	/**
    27: 	* Processing function
    28: 	* Does the actual replacing of anchars with css classes
    29: 	* @return an array of altered strings
    30: 	*/	
    31: 	public function fetch() {
    32:   $i=0;
    33:   
    34:   foreach($this->rows as $row) {
    35:   	if($i % 2 == 0) {
    36:     $row=str_replace($this->anchor, "class=\"".$this->cssClass1."\"", $row);
    37:   	} else {
    38:     $row=str_replace($this->anchor, "class=\"".$this->cssClass2."\"", $row);
    39:   	}
    40:   	
    41:   	$this->rows[$i]=$row;
    42:   	$i++
    43:   }
    44:   
    45:   return $this->rows;
    46: 	}
    47: }
    48: ?>
    49: 

    You see with K&R style the code looks a bit cleaner and thinner, especially when using many if-clauses. In big files this really can make a huge difference. Good for your eyes. :D

    You should also take attention to things like this:

    15:  $result = database ($query);

    16:  // If the query failed exit the function

    17:  if (!$result)

    18:  {

    19:    return FALSE;

    20:  }

    It could be:

    1: if (!$result = database ($query);) {
    2: return FALSE;
    3: }

    And of course what Klaas said. :D
