Have been reading posts daily for two months now on the list, and am very pleased at how informative these can be. I have noticed, many examples where one is pointed to using classes downloadable on the internet. This is when i realized how often these classes that do "everything" are very BIG.
Big classes and long methods are signs of bad code, no matter if it's downloadable for free or costs money.
Pfft. Depends on the code. A developer api is going to have long methods / functions, simply because of error checking.
Could you give me an example?
Anything based on PEAR. I was going to point to http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2/docs/2.3.0/__filesource/fsource_MDB2__MDB2-2.3.0MDB2.php.html which has 4,000 lines of code in one file, but then I realised it has multiple classes in the same file (which is usually a no-no as well). -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
