Hi, I'm working through fixing up a bit of SSL
code and have encountered
a difficulty. The PHP manual[1] says that unused parameters "may be
given as NULL". In my testing, setting them = ''; works fine, but of
course we want to do what PHP expects. In config.inc.php, we don't have
any values that default to NULL, and I think it may confuse users in
this case. I'd much prefer to leave them set = ''; in config.inc.php for
consistency and to make it easy for users to plug in their own values.
Hi Isaac,
what do you mean, in config.inc.php? We do not offer this file in the
download kit. Do you mean the generated config.inc.php via setup? or the
sample config file?
What I am thinking of is in libraries/config.default.php to set the
parameters to NULL, then if the user decides to overwrite it in
config.inc.php there is no problem. In that case, I'm not sure I'd write
the end-user documentation as if the default was = ''; or NULL.
Indeed we should do what PHP expects and use NULL; and I suggest that
the user doc tell the truth (config.default.php contains NULL). The doc
should give a clear example when a value other than NULL needs to be used.
If my question has made sense, what do you think?
