WTF PHP

Example #1 Using global

<?php
$a = 1;
$b = 2;

function Sum()
{
    global $a, $b;

    $b = $a + $b;
}

Sum();
echo $b;
?>

 The above script will output 3. By declaring $a and $b global within the function, all references to either variable will refer to the global version. There is no limit to the number of global variables that can be manipulated by a function.


a = 1
b = 2

def Sum():
    global a, b
    b = a + b

Sum()
print b


The above script will output 3. By declaring a and b global within the function, all references to either variable will refer to the global version. There is no limit to the number of global variables that can be manipulated by a function.

Looks like it's time to learn D.

FUCK YOU FAGGOT I FUCKING HATE YOU!


int a = 1;
int b = 2;

void Sum()
{
    b = a + b;
}

int main()
{
    Sum();
    cout << b;
}

The above script will output 3. By using a and b within the function, all references to either variable will refer to the global version. There is no limit to the number of global variables that can be manipulated by a function.


var a = 1
var b = 2

Sum()
{
    b = a + b
}

main()
{
    Sum();
    printf("%d\n", b);
}

|var a = 1
|var b = 2
|main()
|printf("%d\n", b);

What the fuck language is this?

D allows you to write extremely fast and responsive forum software, see for yourself how nice does it feel: http://forum.dlang.org/

Besides attracting more users (according to Google, the difference between 0.9s and 0.4s page load time results in 20% difference in traffic ^[1]), using D instead of PHP will literally save you money in hardware and maintenance costs, especially if you are using solutions like Amazon AWS.

Plus, D has a powerful type system which allows for much faster development: a bug caught at compile time costs 10x less to fix than one caught by unittests, 100x less than one caught immediately after deployment, and 1000x less than one caught during normal operation. Statically-enforced protection from all kinds of injections is simply priceless.

What the fuck did you expect "global" to do? Handle them locally?

$a = 1

function shit {
   echo $a;
}

This crappy of a language will print NOTHING when i call the shit function. I need to use the global keyword if i want the shit function to print 1

WTF PHP!

What the fuck do you expect "tear_my_anus_with_spoon" to do? Tear it with a fork?

What a shitty misspelling.

>>8
That forum... Sure it's fast


(define a 1)
(define b 2)

(define (sum)
    (set! a (+ a b)))

(sum)
(display a)

The above script will output 3. By using a and b within the function, all references to either variable will refer to the global version. There is no limit to the number of global variables that can be manipulated by a function.

This isn't really all that WTF-worthy, given the weird scope shit in other popular scripting languages like Ruby and Python. Here's a better one:

>>> 0x0 +2
4
>>> 0x0 +3.5
6.5
>>> 0x0 +2e1
757

They have a whole bunch of these on that other terrible website. http://redd.it/ps6x5

The funny part is that strtol accepts a leading 0x in hexadecimal numeric strings if you use base 16, so they didn't have to do that hack anyway.

>>14
It is! Seriously!

>implicit local declarations
>2012

>>19
It's ok I guess. I dislike the lua approach to put local everywhere.

>>3
Fuck off. Nobody cares about your shitty toy language.

>>21
o oh oh, but I do! I do!

The game

just noting that its funny how the unicode reverse thing changed the topic from "WTF PHP" to "PHP FTW"

>>24
In the bizzare world, is PHP FTW

I like to have to use global in PHP.

Is like forcing you to acknowledge that you are a clumsy designer for relying on globals.
