At the beginning of the file he wrote a manual how to use his class. Sth like: "You just set static fields to configure a thing and then invoke the X method, and then the PDF document will be written to file Y".

Im a second year and we would spend around 8 - 16 hours a week...
You find that spending more time early on makes any team issue come out sooner than you think

T'was approximate. I'm sure it was more, at least in my case (an algorithm implementation).

Sounds like a regular nerd to me. probably a guru on linux or python or whatnot, so he doesn't expect much from the class/project and expects the "people who actually need to learn" to do the work, because he, if he really tried, would do the stuff in a snap.
I used to have a manager for our software team who is actually guru contributor on linux that didn't do squat for the team, coding was in PHP and very simple stuff, ended up killing the whole project.

What does it mean? [it makes no sense if literally translated so it must be an idiom]

This is a similar situation to my undergrad life. There was a guy in my class that couldn't code to save his own life. He got me to write his stuff and one day he says "do you think what we are doing is wrong?" I said "nope ... I'm learning ... and you are giving me more ways to learn by letting me write your stuff. You will either learn it now, learn it later, or get fired later." He installs software for a living now.

dear sir! I am not getting my queries fulfilled. i am not getting my relevant solutions to my queries. i require best programming code according to my topic.
thanks for your immediate feedback but i can't my relevant solutions.
Kindly sir! i request you to provide simple programming codes in 'c' & other topic if i required.
Very Very Thanks......

I guess that your question is too perfect to give a satisffactory answer.

I think that is your biggest mistake. Not one person here is required to answer a dang thing that you ask. I read your original questions and the responses to them. You did not do one thing to help yourself you simply demanded code for something that is easily research-able by any reasonable programmer/student. If you had shown code showing what you had tried and why it did not work, you might have gotten much better replies.
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

Three things:
1) This is not a good place to put this: as it says at the top of the Forum "a place to post examples of Coding Horrors and Worst Practices"
2) I just had a look at your queries. They have both been answered, but there is nothing there you could not have found easily yourself by either A) using google or B) attending your lectures. Preferably both.
3) Don't get demanding. We don't get paid for this, we do it because we want to share our knowledge. If you start in with "attitude" you will annoy people and reduce your chances of a useful answer.

Except, paradoxically, that makes his post in this forum a good example of "Worst Practices", making it completely appropriate

An ex-coworker asked me to help him with his first website (maybe last?).
It's for a real estate agency. He was stuck trying to process the search form with some selects (price range, state size, zone location, bla, bla.. )
All the code is a f***ing mess, but this piece of crap excels among all other:
$filter='';
$type=$_POST['type'];
$admin=$_POST['admin'];
$zone=$_POST['zone'];
$m2=$_POST['m2'];
$price=$_POST['price'];
if(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($zone!="selec") AND ($m2!="selec") AND ($price!="selec")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin=\"$admin\" AND price>=\"$pricemin\" AND price<=\"$pricemax\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($pricemax!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin=\"$admin\" AND price>=\"$pricemin\" AND price<=\"$pricemax\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin=\"$admin\" AND price>=\"$pricemin\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin=\"$admin\" AND price>=\"$pricemax\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin=\"$pricemin\" AND price>=\"$pricemax\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND price>=\"$pricemax\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($pricemax!="") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND price>=\"$pricemax\" AND city=\"$city\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($admin!="selec")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND admin>=\"$admin\"";
}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($pricemin!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND price>=\"$pricemin\"";

}elseif(($type!="selec") AND ($city!="")){
$filter="type=\"$type\" AND city>=\"$city\"";

}elseif($admin!="selec"){

Looks like perfectly normal PHP to me. You mean PHP doesn't have to look like a child wrote in in Quick Basic? If true, I am amazed...

The ability to write total garbage is language- (and culture-) independent.  
with the possible exception of APL, where nobody can tell if it's garbage or clever code. Described to me years ago as the world's first write-only language.

Thanks! I've been trying to forget the existence of APL...

No exception, it's possible to write good and bad APL, or even J. The problem is that it has more features, so it's easier to abuse, and a lot of it is written by academics who don't really believe in professional software practices.

that actually DOES look like something i wrote in qbasic when i was 10.

Well a comment or two would be pretty handy, as well as some better spacing (though I'm hoping you crammed it all together so it would fit better on the page?). That is one heck of a if statement though...

No, i didn't.. Sad but true
I've translated names and wrote the few comments...
