Should I maybe use a diff...
In PHP, you can initialize arrays with values quickly using the following notation: $array = array("name" => "member 1", array("name" => "member 1.1") ) .... is there any way to do this for STDClass objects? I don't know any shorter way than the dreary $object = new STDClass(); $object->member1 = "hello, I'm 1"; $object->member1->mem...
As far as I know, and have gathered from other SO posts, there are no proper tools for refactoring PHP code yet, so when it comes to refactoring, it's probably good old search-and-replace for most of us, with a good amount of praying that we didn't overlook something. I would like to know whether there are any coding recommendations on...

Is the 'copy' of an array for a foreach (of php5, in this case) an immediate copy with actual overhead, or merely a lazy copy (copy on write) which only produces overhead if it detects a write manipulation? The alternative, note in several places, is to run foreach over keys($array) -- how can that really be faster? ...
To dynamically fill DropDown controls on my HTML Form, I have written code that makes AJAX call to a .php file. This .php file populates the DropDown control with a single column value.

I'm using a foreach loop to process a large set of items, unfortunately it's using alot of memory. (probably because It's doing a copy of the array). Apparently there is a way to save some memory with the following code: $items = &$array; Isn't it better to use for loops instead? And is there a way to destroy each item as soon as they ...

A few years ago I used to work with PHP and there've been many changes in PHP, especially on the OOP part. Back then it was necessary to use the & operator at several places, especially when working with object instances (OOP was very rudimentary then) to avoid copying object instances. With PHP 5.2 there seems to be a lot of improvem...
