Re: [PHPLIB-DEV] Some questions From: Alexander Aulbach (ssilk <email protected>)

Sorry, I'm not involved to the of_*-classes.

Are your questions
1. just questions or
2. are they suggestions for the developers?

If 1) : Go to phplib <email protected>
If 2) : Your questions make sense. Ask the programmers. Try to make a new
version of of_* with your downward-compatible suggestions.

To your question 3:
}3. Why PHPLIB uses single quotes to delimit HTML attributes? I thought
}double quotes are standard thing.

Single quotes are scanned faster (no variable expansion), inside single
quotes only single quotes must be escaped (no need for \" and other
backslashed data). Single quotes are ideal for HTML-Stuff.

To Question 4:
PHPLIB is currently not PHP4-compatible!

}1. Why of_* classes when validating forms via Javascript use numbers and

}in the same order as get_element for them was called - which isn't always
}the case (and there's no way for PHPLIB to know it it is) and is never
}mentioned in the docs. Why not use element names, which are guaranteed to
}be there and be known - since PHPLIB itself makes them, and allow to move
}HTML code around and insert custom elements at will?

}2. Why of_textarea has no validation hooks? In what respect is it worse
}than of_text?

}4. Why templates use slow array-version of preg_replace. which requires
}one path on the template for *every* key? It is certainly possible to do
}it in one pass, which should be definitely faster. With PHP 4, it's
}possible even to have PHP to compile template once and then only execute
}it, which should be yet more fast. Is somebody interested in
}incorporating this in PHPLIB?
