I despise silent exits, not even a little whimper of "$foobar" not defined.

I detest prefixing variables with "$", it harks back to the days of BASIC ass$="you are".

I piss on your brace style if ( condition ) {

Which of course promotes non-OOD spaghetti code practices, which is what I'm fixing right now. It's a amazing to me how people can f**** up less than 500 lines of code into an untestable morass of garbage.

Come on Marc, really?

Speaking of which, I'm using this nifty plug-in (it's something like $75) for Visual Studio that does a lot of the syntax highlighting and intellisense stuff, and most awesome of all, I can debug PHP code right in the IDE!

I know, that was low. I really don't like that style of bracing though, I find it harder to visually distinguish code outside the if block with code on the inside.

<?php

namespace Application;

class MyClass extends BaseClass
{
    public function MyFunction()
    {
        if(blah)
        {
            // not *that* different than C# so far
        }
    }
}

?>

Again, thanks for the great feedback!

Any time man, you know I got your back. Ask away any question you have.

That being said, there are better ways to traverse an XmlSimpleElement object.

function XmlAsString($array)
{
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<response/>');
    
    foreach($array as $key => $value)
    {
        $xml->addChild($key, $value);
    }
    
    return $xml->asXML();

which does correctly what was originally intended.

I think that actually works in 5.4 as well, but not sure.

function XmlAsString(array $array)
{
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<response/>');

    foreach($array as $key => $value)
    {
        $xml->addChild($key, $value);
    }

    return $xml->asXML();
