Class ‘SplFixedArray’ not found…

$nodeTrail = new SplFixedArray(count($dataset)+1);

Is there is a class missing?

Thanks

Dave

@Gary S : You are spot on, it is good to see not all developers are becoming brain washed morons. To Borio and 3P etc, everything you say is completely unsupported hearsay and you have made no attempt to provide counter arguments to Gary’s or the OP’s logical and well reasoned points. You are basically sheep following the crowd. Oh and btw 99% of my code works first time, it’s called being a professional software developer; it’s dismally sad that you seem to feel this is unobtainable, only a few years a go this was the norm. TDD isn’t going to make up for you being a poor programmer. I raise back the point if you so clearly expect such resounding defects in your code what makes you think your tests will be any better? Think about it, try for a second to look beyond the propaganda which seems to be primarily coming from the academic and research community. The real world is a very different place than academia.

TDD really sucks. No private methods (because they cant be tested). Mocking Database transactions (what’s the point of writing a test case again?). Especially writing code in your class just so you can run your test case. These are some of the things that bother me.
having test cases help for sure. Not against testing and unit test cases, they are a great way to ensure quality. But writing a test case even before writing a line of code? Nonsense….

People that think TDD is waste of time are really funny. But hey they say the code they produced in last 10 years is not worth testing. I think that tells a lot about them.

I do TDD for about 6-7 years. And it is the best thing I learned in my 10 years or so programming career.

Maybe there are geniuses that make their code work since first run. If not and You spend time debugging THEN you are wasting your time. In the debugger! And how can You be certain that change You committed didn’t break anything? Manual regression testing? Debugging code that You finished weeks ago? Again? Don’t make me laugh people.

Just think for a second. There must be reason why so many people in Ruby community do TDD, why MS created ASP.NET MVC, why there are Unit testing frameworks, mocking frameworks. You think You 2, 3 person know better then thousands? You really must be geniuses.

Comment on Setting up simple but easy to work with LAMP development environment by Felixdv

Hi, thanks for the guide!

If found that setting the “user_allow_other” variable in /etc/fuse.conf and then adding it to /etc/fstab also works nicely. This is the fstab line I use:
sshfs#user@192.168.0.1:/path/to/remote/dir /var/www/myproject fuse rw,auto,users,allow_other,max_read=65536 0 0

‘auto’ makes it mount on boot, ‘users’ allows it to mount it as a regular user and not only as root, ‘allow_other’ allows access to users other than the one mounting it (such as www-data) and ‘max_read’ seems to be speeding up access times.

People should try serious something, before come with a lot of theory about how TDD is bad, is waste of time, etc

First TDD makes the code better, doing so, makes the final product better. It forces to decoupling things, it forces to a better design because you wont be able to test a poor design.

Those arguments about wasting time writting tests sounds terrible to me. Most of the time spended in regular software development is in debugging and bug fix and you complain about some three lines tests instead hour of debugging and bug fix? Maintenance nightmare doesnt start when the product is deployed, it starts in the very early stages of development and the poor design is almost always there when people chose to save time not writtint tests before the code.

TDD is better, is faster, but is very harder than regular development.

But, of course, as OO knowledge is some of better distributed things among humans, no one need to learn more about, some people will say I tried it and it sux.
