Not necessarily. Makes sense for syntax check to only check between php tags. Root of the issue is that by default php outputs anything not between php tags to the browser. Perhaps some sort of buffer control at the top most include can dis

Good point. Minus the keys/passwords the "harm" would be limited.

I understand that view. But I am talking specifically about something that would just dump the code of the php file to the browser.

We saw this from facebook few years ago. Now with tumblr. Is there something at core of php that makes this inevitable? I ask this as a concerned php dev(and not out of snark).

I still get a chuckle out of it, too. Then again, how else do you end up in a debate class full of basketball players who are gonna win the NCAAA Championship later in the semester?

Reminds me of my AP Computer Sci class in high school a decade ago. There were five people in the class, two of them being my brother and I. Two of the three left had zero prior programming experience. I could only sympathize with them as

No worries. Congrats on such awesome traffic numbers! Of course, if you were following the true spirit, we'd see a hockey stick chat comparing TechCrunch's launch traffic to your projected traffic :)

Let's officially replace the use of the word hits when citing traffic with something little bit less ambiguous;) Hits technically refer to each request for an item to your web server. So one page view can have 10+ hits if you take into

They never should have stopped hosting their own POP/IMAP servers. Why?

Agree. I want to say companies that do this should be the rule , not the exception. I remember when the floods hit Mumbai few years ago, restaurants across the city stayed opened through the night feeding folks, in many cases for free.

Bingo. When you have google execs making fun of social on the record from few years ago, it sounds a lot like Gates saying "The Internet? We are not interested in it". No ones talking about value because value isn't static. At the end of th

Too lazy to create reviews for a final? Create a google doc with a chapter number on each row and email your class asking x people to signup to do y chapters each. When done have em paste it into a master doc. Boom! You have a crowdsourced

That is, Twitter is planning to monetize by making their product worse, and they don't want anyone offering a service on the level of what Twitter used to offer. IMO if they have to add some inconveniences to their product to make some do

When companies started releasing awesome APIs for free, we kinda wondered "what's the catch?". Years later, we're finding out. The hype surrounding free APIs without formal agreements is the biggest farce in the Valley. We are now in that p
