PHP class instantiation. To use or not to use the parenthesis?
Hey. I've always assumed that - in the absence of constructor parameters - the parenthesis (curly brackets) follow the class name when creating a class instance, were optional, and that you could include or exclude them at your own personal whim. That these two statements were equal: $foo = new bar; $foo = new bar(); Am I right? Or ...

PHP Web Service - Same call: Multiple records = array, 1 record=single object - How to work around?
I'm consuming a web service in PHP. If the service returns 2 or more records the object comes back as an array. However, if I call the same service that returns 1 record, the object is not an array. This makes for some messy logic having to watch for both cases when one would think PHP could be smart enough to handle this appropriately a...

Do prepared statements in PDO really increase security?
I wonder if those prepared statements of PDO really increase security, or if they are just a "cheap" text-replace in the query.
