$_COOKIE?

Viewed 60 times

Question in the title.

And what happens when all 3 of $_GET[foo], $_POST[foo] and $_COOKIE[foo] exist? Which one of them gets included to $_REQUEST?

Answers

I'd say never.

If I wanted something to be set via the various methods, I'd code for each of them to remind myself that I'd done it that way - otherwise you might end up with things being overwritten without realising.

Shouldn't it work like this:

$_GET = non destructive actions (sorting, recording actions, queries)

$_POST = destructive actions (deleting, updating)

$_COOKIE = trivial settings (stylesheet preferences etc)

$_SESSION = non trivial settings (username, logged in?, access levels)

Here's what worked best for me when trying to script this (in case anyone else comes across this like I did):

$ pecl -d php_suffix=5.6 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>

$ pecl -d php_suffix=7.0 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>

$ pecl -d php_suffix=7.1 install <package>
$ pecl uninstall -r <package>

The -d php_suffix=<version> piece allows you to set config values at run time vs pre-setting them with pecl config-set. The uninstall -r bit does not actually uninstall it (from the docs):

vagrant@homestead:~$ pecl help uninstall
pecl uninstall [options] [channel/]<package> ...
Uninstalls one or more PEAR packages.  More than one package may be
specified at once.  Prefix with channel name to uninstall from a
channel not in your default channel (pecl.php.net)

Options:
  ...
  -r, --register-only
        do not remove files, only register the packages as not installed
  ...

The uninstall line is necessary otherwise installing it will remove any previously installed version, even if it was for a different PHP version (ex: Installing an extension for PHP 7.0 would remove the 5.6 version if the package was still registered as installed).

int may be as small as 16 bits on some platforms. It may not be sufficient for your application.
uint32_t is not guaranteed to exist. It's an optional typedef that the implementation must provide iff it has an unsigned integer type of exactly 32-bits. Some have a 9-bit bytes for example, so they don't have a uint32_t.
uint_fast32_t states your intent clearly: it's a type of at least 32 bits which is the best from a performance point-of-view. uint_fast32_t may be in fact 64 bits long. It's up to the implementation.

... there is uint_fast32_t which has the same typedef as uint32_t ...

What you are looking at is not the standard. It's a particular implementation (BlackBerry). So you can't deduce from there that uint_fast32_t is always the same as uint32_t.

You might want to take a look at this post by Eric Lippert.

Is this an IE only method?

Nope. It's part of JScript, so anything that implements JScript (including IE, of course) should support it.

When should it be used?

When you want to hint garbage collector to start doing its job. Arguably, it shouldn't be used at all, and instead just let things happen on their own.

What are the advantages (or disadvantages) to using it?

I'm not aware of any disadvantages. Before using it, I would perform some tests to see if there are actual benefits in memory usage.

Never used any of those, but they look interesting..

Take a look at Gearman as well.. more overhead in systems like these but you get other cool stuff :) Guess it depends on your needs ..
