The joy of programming....

The joy of programming....searching and debugging for nearly 3 hours...not getting a clear error...just a stupid crash! Then tracing the script causing the error...and noticing error reporting was disabled all this time! Know what it was? A STUPID SEMI COLON!!!! ";" :gun:

After that fix, it worked within 15 minutes! Testing and deploy in production an hour later! At least solved it before the weekend! :D

Yes, this was a work thing in PHP. ;)

PHP is the best. I've been using it for roughly 24 years. Pure PHP with no framework. Frameworks drive me nuts with the code bloat.

I transitioned from Visual Basic 6, VBA and VB.NET to PHP about 15 years ago! Damn! time really flies by.... Introduced me to the "new" syntax and is the reason I could pick up C/C++ much easier in a couple years after starting with PHP.

I am the same. Basically wrote my own framework from scratch.Hiding all the header/footer/sidebar stuff in functions and array to have a "render" function at the end to assemble the HTML and javascript. And a few years ago put PUG templates in for easier HTML form templates and stuff like that. :D

I think I went through vb4, 5, 6 then asp 3 classic. Once I went web and intranet apps I never looked back because the web was so much easier than console executables that you had to compile
