note 115468 added to function.list

This is one of very few times that I think it can make sense to use the error-suppression operator (@). For example, a rudimentary API (assuming you're not using a framework) might work off of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] to run an operation. For instance, a call to api.json.php/users might return an array of user IDs and a call to api.json.php/users/42 might return details about the user with the ID 42. <?php // ... @list ($dataset, $identifier) = explode('/', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']); switch ($dataset) { case 'users': if (isset($identifier)) { exit (json_encode(get_user($identifier))); } else { exit (json_encode(get_users())); } // ... } // ... ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 68.14.223.28 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.list.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115468 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115468 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115468 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
