note 98521 added to function.assert

There's a nice advantage to giving assert() some code to execute, as a string, rather than a simple true/false value: commenting. <?php assert('is_int($int) /* $int parameter must be an int, not just numeric */'); // and my personal favorite assert('false /* not yet implemented */'); ?> The comment will show up in the output (or in your assertion handler) and doesn't require someone debugging to go through your code trying to figure out why the assertion happened. That's no excuse to not comment your code, of course. You need to use a block comment (/*...*/) because a line comment (//...) creates an "unexpected $end" parse error in the evaluated code. Bug? Could be. (You can get around it with "false // not yet implemented\n" but that screws up the message) ---- Server IP: 209.68.5.5 Probable Submitter: 75.172.105.70 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.assert.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98521 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98521 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98521 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
