I'm mostly convinced of the benefits of unit testing, and I would like to start applying the concept to a large existing codebase written in PHP. Less than 10% of this code is object-oriented.

I'm using TinyMCE (WYSIWYG) as the default editor in one of my projects and sometimes it automatically adds <p> </p> , <p> </p> or divs. I have been searching but I couldn't really find a good way of cleaning any empty tags with regex. The code I've tried to used is, $pattern = "/<[^\/>]*>([\s]?)*<\/[^>]*>/"; $str = preg_replace(...

I am aware of the limitations of floating point arithmetic for this purpose, however the input values are all in a decimal format, so if I use the arithmetic operators on them PHP will cast them to floats. So what is the best ...
