Concluding, and one idea...I think I received satisfying advices on everything
but first question (Detection of typos and other simple mistakes). And we were
talking also about being able to catch them at compile time, then if php at all
has compile time etc. Today one thing crossed my mind -- if there is compiler
for php maybe it can catch these errors natively, like java compiler for java?
Unfortunatelly there is no recent version available for windows so I can't test
it myself (http://www.roadsend.com/home/index.php?pageID=compiler). I am
interesting if someone is using it, and if it can detect this simple mistakes
(I am using eclipse + php plugin, but I feel there is something wrong in
depending on editor to detect programming errors :-) )
Regards to all,
