I've wondered for a while whats the LOOOOOOOOOOONGEST Starbucks order possible. There are a lot of modifiers  out there and if I could just string them together I could really confuse my local Barrista.  I know... I'm obnoxious...

On the PHP-Coding-Practices.com blog, there's a tutorial posted from Tim Koschuetzki in his "Composing Methods" series looking at assigning temporary variables.   When you have the same temporary variable assigned to more than once, split it up into two, unless it is a loop variable. [...] Temporary variables have various uses. They can be used as counters in loops, as collecting variables building up a result or as simple containers containing the result of a long-winded expression for easy reference.   He offers suggestions of using temporary variables, including changing references of it after use and making a new temp variable following the second assignment of the first one. Some sample code is included to illustrate the points made.

In a new post to his blog today, Stuart Herbert continues the theme he started in a previous post about a business case for PHP. In this new entry, he shares some things he's done to further the effort.   To turn this from an idea into reality, I've setup a Google group where anyone who is interested can join in, and help build this resource. Please come along with your ideas and concerns, and let's see what we can achieve together.   He also suggests some "first steps" to get the ball rolling, namely a list of topics the business case needs to cover.

On the SitePoint PHP blog today, Troels Knak-Nielsen has written up an article that talks about dependencies in your applications - those little interconnections your code relies on to do more with less.   In lack of better words, I'll call this compositional programming style. It's a style which is usually more prevalent with experienced programmers. [...] There is, however, a dark side to composition - dependencies.   He starts with a definition to bring everyone up to a level field then moves on to how their used (through a "global symbol" or directly passed in) and how they can "leak" if you're not careful.    To help protect you and your code from any kind of damage down the line, Troels suggests making a container to keep objects where they need to be. He even includes an example with namespace support to make things even easier down the road.
