PHP language constructs and string joining operator

[CezaryDanielNowak]

Hey, In PHP some operators doesn't need parentheses (, ) to work, see the sample:

{{
  include 'sth' // should return `include 'sth';`
  return 'sth' // should return `return 'sth';`
  require 'sth' // should return `require 'sth';`
  if sth //here it's OK
  switch test //here it's OK too
    case 'd'
      ':)'
}}

Soon, Mammouth will be written from zero, because we want to add an artificial intelligence that detect difference between variable, classes and functions...that will help to write PHP website with intelligence.. but I will work to add some of this feature in the current versions

@korpirkor, you can use parentheses ?? like include('sth')

[CezaryDanielNowak]

yeah, sure I can use parentheses  but it's step backwards.

Regarding artificial intelligence: Maybe it isn't needed and mammouth should force user to code using good practices:

• ClassName is always uppercase so accessing SomeLiteral mammouth should assume it's a class
• functionName has parentheses  so always you use functionName()
• $variableName is not Uppercase

[btwael]

yeah, maybe we will use your suggestions, I will work in this, maybe we should write something like ECMA-262, that organize Mammouth development and usage...

See example: http://mammouth.wamalaka.com/#try:{{%0Ahello%20%3D%20%27hello%20%27%0Aecho%20hello%20%27wael%27%0A}}

[CezaryDanielNowak]

yay :) so now just include, include​once, require, require​once and return left

[CezaryDanielNowak]

Looks like return statement stopped working http://mammouth.wamalaka.com/#try:{{%0Atest%20%28%29%20-%3E%0A%20%20if%28foo%29%0A%20%20%20%20return%20%27bar%27%0A}}%0A%0A{{%0Atest%20%28%29%20-%3E%0A%20%20if%28foo%29%0A%20%20%20%20return%28%27bar%27%29%0A}}

Hey @korpirkor, you can now see your example, that's work now

[btwael]

I think that shoud be closed now. tnx you @korpirkor

[CezaryDanielNowak]

@btwael What do you say if I create simple mammouth tests for you, to regression tests ?

[btwael]

@korpirkor, Of courses if you wants and you have time, that well be helpful to make a nice language that compiles to PHP !! tnx again sorry for my english
