Development Discussion Board

Hi, well what can I say? I've applied for the events system about 3 and half months ago now. I've been contacted by the team about a month later. I was told who else I was going to work on my project with and discussion on the forums started. I had already sarted discussing various technical aspects...

PHP 6 just branched off in the last week or two...far too early to tell what effect that will have on backwards compatibility (although it doesn't look all that good). I wouldn't expect PHP6 to go gold though for at least a couple years. PHP 5.1 on the other hand, will probably be out before Olympu...

Depends on the function you use. In this case it is correct because preg_replace returns an array when $subject is an array.

php.net/preg_replace wrote: mixed preg_replace ( mixed pattern, mixed replacement, mixed subject [, int limit [, int &count]] )

8O That was really hard! It took me quite some time, but I finally reached the end and lightened both torches

Ah, now it all makes much more sence... I thought you guys were gonna just start improving transactions or something of the like... Well, you did with mysqli... Anyway, whats up with count() being replaced with sizeof()? That one is still a mystery I cannot fathom from this end.. Perhaps it's just ...
