# PHPStorm Issues

## Environment

Ubuntu 14.04 / phpStorm 9.0.2 / OpenJDK 1.7.0_79 / Acer Aspire TimelineX

## Bugs

The IDE occassionally stalls such that I can no longer edit, or make any changes whatsoever to any
tabs that remain open. Neither can I move the caret around using up/down keys. If I switch to another project (in the same window) I cannot

Random notes from PHP Conf NZ 2015

* What core PHP functionality relies on SPL? (Core PHP5 interfaces for everyday use: http://php.net/manual/en/intro.spl.php)
* Take another look at Generators (Reduced memory footprint vs std iteration: http://php.net/manual/en/language.generators.overview.php)
* Look at File();
* Look at Pthreads proper multithreading
* What are co-routines again?
* ZTS Zend Thread Safety
* Performance:

How to configure phpStorm with EditorConfig and PHPMD:
-----------------------------------------------------

PHPMD:
------

phpmd (PHP Mess Detector) is a static analysis tool that will find issues in your code you never knew you had. Your code will still run, follow a few of phpmd's recommendations though and it will be better!

phpmd is already bundled and enabled in phpstorm, but in order to more easily manage versions and add custom rulesets, you should do the following:

phptek

# Deviate Ltd EditorConfig file
# 
# Place this file at the root of your project customisations and rename it: .editorconfig
#
# See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline
# See: http://editorconfig.org/
#

	/**
	 * Generate an array of records on reverse class relationships set through a DataExtension.
	 * E.g. Some DataExtension provides its extended objects with a ManyMany component called 'Fooz'.
	 * 
	 * On deletion of an extended record, if as we should, we can ensure we clean-up properly and 
	 * remove the relation to the deleted record in the join table.
	 * 
	 * @param string $manyManyComponentName
	 * @return array

PHP's "statics"

1. Static methods within a class.

Note: Allows dev's to encapsulate similar methods within a class, but with the "benefit" of easy access by means of global scope.
Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php
Example:

class Foo
{

Debugging:

"Never, ever assume you think you know where a bug comes from". I have seen developers arbitrarly put in break points and debug statements
and then work there way forwards to the point at which the error manifests. Don't do this, precisely becuase your break point or debug statement *is* arbitrary*.
Becuase the framework or library you're using may have poorly understood or poorly documented, unpredicatable
or plain broken behaviour, then place your breakpoints or add your logging there first and only then work your way forwards.

UX:

"Always assume your user is deaf, dumb, blind and stupid." No offence meant *whatsoever*. If you can get your project to be used by someone of this ilk, you've already won.

PSR-2 says...

* Indentation: 4 spaces
* Newline: UNIX LF
* End of line: No whitespace
* End of file: Single newline (Why? Historical tooling reasons)
