The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

That's bad bad bad and more BAD advice. Always use quotes around array indexes in PHP if not what you are essentially telling php is that there is a defined constant with the name of recid, PHP looks for it and doesn't find it, and replaces it with the string 'recid' and generating a E_NOTICE error for you. For more info see here:

Member 8857022 showed the correct way of doing this using {} to wrap the variable.
