php version

[ragtek]

Which php version are you using?

Already php5.3 or 5.2 ?

We made the decision to use the new features of php 5.3 for our add-ons, because it makes development "faster & easier"
for example
get_called_class()

abstract class Ragtek_Helper_Abstract{

    static private $instances = array();
    public static function getInstance(){
        $class = get_called_class();
		if (empty(self::$instances[$class]))
		{
			self::$instances[$class] = new $class;
		}
		return self::$instances[$class];
    }
}

But i think that this will result in an big "problem" for many users, because they will not be able to use these add-ons.

5.3... mmm closures (allows you to write PHP like Javascript, bloody fantastic from time to time)

I've never seen a "useful real world php example" when to use closures (just used in in js), so i've never used them in my code, but I'm loving the late static binding.

Had to use 5.3 for my Ampache installation.

5.2.x for now, planning to go 5.3 soon as I know it won't break anything I'm doing.

usort($array, function($a, $b) {
    return $a - $b; // or something, y'know, more complex.
});
$text = preg_replace_callback('/\((\d+)\+(\d+)\)/', function($match) {
    return '(' . ($match[1] + $match[2]) . ')';
}, '(2+3) (10+7)');
// (5) (17) but i didn't test this at all.

Basically anyplace you use a callback, you no longer need to write a one-shot function that only serves a single basic purpose. Unless you do the unthinkable and use... create_function.
