For later, when I have free time. Its kinda exciting to learn a new language, specially one that can be learned easily; comes installed in OSX: 1+, has a free book 1+.
john = new Person();
var susan = new Person();
function load_div()
$('random_div').show();
john.say("Hello"); // doesn't work
susan.say("Yo"); // works!
}
Huh.
I normally don’t post things about work or my career here, but this doesnt really fit anywhere else.
I’ve been working on this one php script for about 2 days. It basically updates very critical information about an user on several tables. Not something unusual but I’ve always been scared of testing scripts that affect our main user tables. And yeah we do have backups but this would be one of those times when reverting would be a b!tch.
So I decided to go hunting for a function that would test my MySQL query without actually running the query. And to my amazement, it doesn’t exist! Not only am I amazed, I’m shocked somebody hasn’t created a native php function.
God knows how much time did I spend figuring out why my queries were breaking when I started coding. It would be incredibly useful, since like me, I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that would like that safety feature. For now though, I’m just going to have to run the script and hope for the best.
