Category: Programming

A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.

The worlds collide: jsphp and php.js

I guess we can consider the overlapping between PHP and JavaScript worlds complete.  Just within the last couple of days I separately and independently came across two different projects:

  • jsphp, which is a pseudo-implementation of the ECMA 262 standard (JavaScript 8.5.1) for PHP 5.3+
  • php.js, which is a resource that offers community-built JavaScript alternatives to PHP functions

So now you can use JavaScript-like stuff in PHP, and PHP-like stuff in JavaScript.  Boom!

TODO : Read more documentation

It’s after bits like this one, I think I should spend more time reading documentation:

METHODS

Create

Create a new transaction.

This routine should _never_ be called by anything other than RT::Ticket. It should not be called from client code. Ever. Not ever. If you do this, we will hunt you down and break your kneecaps. Then the unpleasant stuff will start.

TODO: Document what gets passed to this
