Why I love PHP

While working on PHP_Depend's parser I realized one major reason Why I love PHP, it's the flexibility of language. Even if you think you now know all ways to solve a problem, there is always one more way to solve it.

class f {
function bar() { echo __METHOD__, '()', PHP_EOL; }
function __toString() { return 'v'; }
}
class v { function __toString() { return 'c'; } }
class m { function __toString() { return 'bar'; } }
$c = 'f';
$${'v'} = new ${(string) new ${$v = 'v'}()}();
$$$$$$v->{(string) new m()}();

But to be serious, don't be worried, if you don't get it.

Discover the diversity

Are you also tired of all those monotonous and boring source code you read or write every day? No new challenges, always the same constructs and expression, must that really be so?

Fortunately do you use a programming language that comes with a wide range of opportunities to solve identical tasks in various ways. And here is a simple tip how you can bring variety in your source code with a single expression. Just use the whole range of valid new-expressions and donate your colleagues, customers and other persons with that varied and exciting christmas source code. A simple new MyClass () recognizes and understands finally everyone on the first glance

<?php
new self;
new static;
new clazz;
new self::$class;
new static::$class;
new self::${'class'};
new static::${'class'};
new self::$$class;
new static::$$class
new self::$${'class'};
new static::$${'class'};
new $class;
new $$class;
new ${'class'};
new $${'class'};
new $obj->class;
new $obj->${'name'};
new $obj->$${'name'};
new $obj->{'class'};
new $obj->$$class;
new php_ast_Parser;
new php\ast\Clazz;
new \php\ast\Clazz;
?>

You should also vary the embedded expression which increases the number of possible solutions

In this sense, a lot of fun and a nice weekend...

Arrived at home :-)

Incredible experience, but true

Cite about software testing for today: "transfered to cars, if colleague Mr. XYZ tests, he puts his attention onto color and hifi instead of motor, consumption and quality". This was really crazy
