Ick. That's PHP, right?

Yep, PHP. Though some people consider this to be a horror on itself, that's not what I am getting at here

Could be worse. It could have been vb...

I am getting tired of silly comments about vb. Presumably by someone who has not checked out vb since vb6.

Apparently you missed the Joke icon. I've had to do plenty of vb and vb.net work over the years so I do not speak ignorantly on the matter.

Last year I translated a whole lot of VB6 code into VB.NET 10. After the project was over he complained that most of my code was unintelligible and "I had used LINQ!"

I've used VB2 through VB6 and VB.Net (2002) through VB.Net 2005.

Well the try-blocks in the catch-statements are... Well, I don't know.
It's not the best code, but I've seen much worse. I think with some arguments this programmer would be able to code readable, efficient code. So there is more than a shimmer of hope.

Mhm... lot of ifs and elseifs... and try-catches.
Could be more compact...

Ok, I found a spelling mistake in the code (an extra 'x')

Your reaction is the same as mine. Obvious digs at PHP aside, what does this class even do?

Too much
$exx Or not enough...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I think this just converts an array to a string. Can be used in those beginner/advanced/pro/guru code examples

After taking a good look see, this class
takes an array, converts it to strings and
tests to see if the string is a callable
object with a method inside.
In PHP, you can assign a function or object
name to a string and call it as though you
you had hard coded the name in the code.
This code, despite all the complaints is
actually what you would have to do in order
to avoid the exceptions that occur when
you call a function or object that does
not exist.
The author is utilizing a class perhaps to
keep all the related code in one place, but
a simple function would have sufficed.

I just noticed a variable I had created at some point was later refactored by somebody else from "entity" to "entty". When spoken, they both sound about the same... perhaps somebody was trying to shorten variable names?

Nay, it just doesn't include a naughty word. Clbuttic.
|
|

He could could have further shorten it by using anti. Fairly similar sounds unless you pronounce it like ant-i.

"ntty" would have been even shorter and still sound about the same  .

Why not just ntt? If you spell it out (which is what I assume you should do if there are no vowels ) its en-tee-tee... Sounds about right to me
