Re: "use strict" or similar in PHP?

Hello, I am beginner with PHP and prior to PHP I have worked with java for some time and with perl for very short period. I can't help to notice some things that are little annoyance for me with PHP, but I am sure someone more experienced can help me :-) Is there in PHP something like "use strict" from perl? I find it pretty annoying to need to run script over and over again just to find out that I made typo in variable name. Is there some way for PHP to cache some data on the page? I like very much PHP's speed but it would be even better to be able to cache some frequently used data from database? Also regarding databases, I liked a lot java's way of sending data to database using parameters ("select * from user where username = ?" and then passing parameter separately with database doing necessary escaping and everything). Is there something like PHPDBC similar to JDBC? TIA, Hans 1. Error reporting set to show notices, warnings and errors. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

2. For caching you can use memcache. See http://www.php.net/memcache 3. These are called prepared statements. See http://www.google.ro/search?q=prepared+statements+php Regards, Ovdiiu
