Idea for PHP Enhancement: register_global s_manual

With all the problems with having register_global s = on, I propose the
following idea:

We define register_global s_manual = on as a new configuration default.

What this does is enable 3 new explicit variable declaration mechanisms
with the same syntax as the existing static and global mechanisms.

They would be httpget, httppost and session, so for example:

httpget $user_id;
httppost $credit_card;
session $really_importa nt_stuff;

Each of these declaration lines would effectively enable
register_global s for one specific variable in one particular method
(GET, POST or session).

Creative suggestions, comments would be welcome.

However, I don't understand how register_global s could help writing
safer code.


Me neither. But it is a method of producing bug free code, because it
minimizes globals.


Can you please explain how the use of register_global s minimizes
globals? As I see it, it creates a bunch of globals that otherwise
wouldn't exist.

I have been using a module for printing labels in Access 97, and although it works fine, I would like to add a small enhancement to it. The module allows for setting the number of labels to print and/or to skip; however, the Cancel command button does not function, nor does clicking the X-close. Clicking either one is the same as clicking the OK button. Since the module creates and displays the dialog box, I will need a piece of code to...

What about an enhancement of foreach loops which allows a syntax like that: foeach(int i in 1..10) { } // forward foeach(int i in 99..2) { } // backwards foeach(char c in 'a'..'z') { } // chars foeach(Color c in Red..Blue) { } // using enums It should work with all integral datatypes. Maybe we can step a bit further: foeach(int i in 1..10, 30..100) { } // from 1 to 10 and 30 to hundred

Sometimes a method in a class requires the use of class instance variables/fields that will not be used outside of the method itself. Currently this means you must create a instance field in the class such that from a maintenance stand point it is disconnected from the method, and also affords the opportunity for other methods to mess with the variable when they never should. For example: public class MyClass

I know this sounds contrary to the idea of an interface, but read this and see what you think. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be nice if there was a way for a class to create a special type of interface, a private one. Private meaning it's not directly exposed at the class level, you need to be explicitly handed a reference to it by the class. Often the encapsulation issue...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
