hello koha coders, Koha naming convention drove us to a stupid bug: $query is used both for the CGI object and the SQL statements.
So at the end of an hard week, we write : my $query = CGI->new; # lines of code $query = "delete * from my_brain"; # lines of code print $query->header; and try to understand why header is not a function available in the weird "delete * from my_brain" package ... so we would like to change at least one of these convention to prevent this easy error. As we are for a stronger coding style in koha, we feel that this decision must be debated with all of you. proposals: 1. Change the sql statement name a) to $statement b) to $sql c) to $smt d) to an explicit name (as $select_old_borrowers or $update_items ...) e) to your own idea 2. Change the CGI object a) to $cgi (i have no idea why ...) b) to $r (as there is a lot of perl code still using this convention) c) to $input (because a part of koha already use it) d) to your own idea 3. I don't want to change because *you* did errors ... $query is ok for me! for myself, i'm fan of 1d *and* 2a ($query is too generic and $input has no sense when i write print $input->header). regards -- Marc Chantreux BibLibre, expert en logiciels libres pour l'info-doc http://biblibre.com _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
