IPM1013, Reviewed November 2018
The safe and proper storage of pesticide is a component of good management. A correctly designed and maintained pesticide storage site is essential. Whether maintaining small amounts of pesticide in a locked cabinet or large inventories in sophisticated chemical holding facilities, a suitable storage site
The purpose of this guidesheet is to address the guidelines that will help ensure the safe and environmentally friendly storage of pesticide products.
Pesticide storage facilities must be located away from human and livestock habitat. Ideally, a facility should be built as a separate structure dedicated for pesticide storage. If a separate facility is not possible, a precise area within an existing building should be specified for pesticide storage. The storage site must not be in an area known to flood and should be situated so that runoff from spills and leaks cannot contaminate water sources. The storage site should be situated at least 100 feet away from sensitive areas such as wellheads.
Managers of large commercial facilities should consider the prevailing wind, proximity of surrounding commercial and residential areas, potential fire hazard and the availability of emergency response services.
Keeping out unauthorized people is an important function of the storage site. No matter how small or large the facility, keep it securely locked. Post legible signs on doors and windows to alert people that pesticides are stored there. The signs should clearly state, "DANGER PESTICIDES - KEEP OUT." "No smoking" signs should also be posted (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Post warning signs where pesticides are stored.
Typical pesticide labeling storage instructions include:
Water from burst pipes, spills, overflows, excess rain or irrigation, or flooding streams can damage pesticide containers and pesticides. Water or excess moisture can cause
If the storage site is not protected from the weather or if it tends to be damp, consider placing metal, cardboard and paper containers in sturdy plastic bags or cans for protection. Large metal containers, which may rust when damp, and dry pesticides in paper sacks, which may cake when damp, can be placed on pallets within the storage site (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Store sacks of dry pesticide on pallets.
The storage site should be indoors, whenever possible. Choose a cool, well-ventilated room or building that is insulated or temperature-controlled to prevent freezing or overheating (Figure 3). The temperature range normally recommended for liquid pesticides is 40 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The pesticide label may provide more specific temperature information for the product. Freezing temperatures can cause glass, metal and plastic containers to break. Excessive heat can cause plastic containers to melt, glass containers to explode and some pesticides to volatilize and drift away from the storage site. Another adverse effect of temperature extremes is that the potency of the pesticide can be destroyed.
Figure 3
A modulating temperature control unit keeps a storage area at an ideal temperature.
The storage site should be well lighted (Figure 4). Pesticide handlers using the facility must be able to see well enough to
Figure 4
Provide adequate lighting in storage area.
The floor of the storage site should be made of sealed cement, glazed ceramic tile, no-wax sheet flooring, or another easily cleaned material (Figure 5). Carpeting, wood, soil and other absorbent floors are difficult or impossible to decontaminate in case of a leak or spill. For ease of cleanup, shelving and pallets should be made of nonabsorbent materials such as plastic or metal. If wood or fiberboard materials are used, they should be coated or covered with plastic or a polyurethane or epoxy paint.
Figure 5
Use nonporous material for storage area flooring.
Store only pesticides, pesticide containers, pesticide equipment and a spill cleanup kit at the storage site. Do not keep food, drinks, tobacco, feed, medical or veterinary supplies or medications, seeds, or personal protective equipment — other than equipment necessary for emergency response — at the site. These items could be contaminated by vapors, dusts, or spills and cause accidental exposure to people or animals.
Keep pesticide containers securely closed whenever they are being stored. Tightly closed containers help protect against
Take precautions to prevent cross-contamination of your pesticides. If liquid and dry pesticides are stored in close proximity, store the dry formulations above the liquid pesticides in case of a spill or leak. Each class of pesticide should be stored in its own area. For example, keep herbicides apart from insecticides and fungicides. If possible, store volatile products separately. Some formulations of 2,4-D should be stored away from other types of pesticides because of volatility loss. Vapors from opened containers of these products can move into other nearby pesticides and chemicals and make them useless. The labeling of volatile herbicides usually will direct you to store them separately from seeds, fertilizers and other types of pesticides.
Store pesticide containers with the label in plain sight. Costly errors can result if the wrong pesticide is chosen by mistake. Labels should always be legible. They may be damaged or destroyed by exposure to moisture, dripping pesticide, diluents or dirt. You can use transparent tape or a coating of lacquer or polyurethane to protect the label. If the label is destroyed or damaged, request a replacement from the pesticide dealer or the pesticide manufacturer immediately.
Store pesticides in their original containers. Never put pesticides in containers that might cause children and other people to mistake them for food or drink. You are legally responsible if someone or something is injured by pesticides you have placed in unlabeled or unsuitable containers (Figure 6).
Figure 6
Store pesticides in their original containers.
Isolate waste products. If you have pesticides and pesticide containers that are being held for disposal, store them in a special section of the storage site (Figure 7). Accidental use of pesticides meant for disposal can be a costly mistake.
Figure 7
Isolate waste products for disposal.
Keep an up-to-date inventory of the pesticides you have in storage. Each time a pesticide is added to or removed from the storage site, update the inventory list. The list will help you keep track of your stock and will be essential in a fire or flood emergency. The inventory list also will aid in insurance settlements and in estimating future pesticide needs. Other useful pieces of information to keep on hand are the product labels, material safety data sheets, a building floor plan showing the exact location of the pesticides and emergency telephone numbers (Figure 8).
Figure 8
Clearly post emergency information.
The shelf life of pesticides is variable. Some have a relatively short shelf life and cannot be carried over from year to year. Mark each container with the date of purchase before it is stored. Use older materials first. Whenever possible, purchase only the quantities of pesticides required for a single season to minimize the need for off-season storage. If the product has a shelf life listed in the labeling, the purchase date will indicate whether it is still usable. Excessive clumping, poor suspension, layering or abnormal coloration may be indications that the pesticide has broken down. If you have doubts about the shelf life of a pesticide, call the dealer or manufacturer for advice.
Figure 9
Store protective equipment and clothing nearby.
Figure 10
Have clean water, an eyewash dispenser, soap and a first aid kit available for emergencies.
Figure 11
Provide tools and absorbant material to clean up spills.

Adam Sandler-inspired musical closes BTC season
Do you miss those days of Billy Idol, "Pretty in Pink" and leg warmers?
Well, the Bridgeport Theatre Company has a show for you
Lovers of all things 1980s will want to check out the BTC's season-closing production, "The Wedding Singer," starting performances Friday, May 24, at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport.
The 2006 Broadway musical is based on the popular 1998 Adam Sandler comedy that took an affectionate look back at the 1980s and the struggles of musician Robbie Hart, who wants to stop playing cover tunes at weddings and start writing his own music.
The stage show was nominated for several Tony Awards -- including best musical -- and launched a three-year national tour.
The song score by composer Matthew Sklar and lyricist Chad Beguelin was cited by the Tony nominators as well -- it's an affectionate pastiche of everything from "Thriller" to "Flashdance" to lots of 1980s pop singers.
"There's nothing too heavy in the show. It's fluff, but it's just a lot of fun," director Ricky Altamirano said of the musical last week, adding that he thought fans of the stage versions of "Xanadu" and "9 to 5" would relate to the send-up of pop culture and fashion from 30 years ago.
"It's about the '80s, which seems a little more carefree to us now," the director said of the nostalgic lure of the show for the kids of that era who are now in their 30s and 40s.
"I think if you're a fan of the movie you'll be a fan of the show," Altamirano added.
"People just seem to love the material. It's definitely one of Adam Sandler's best movies," he said.
The mix of music and romantic comedy is being augmented by audience participation elements, including a 1980s costume contest at the Saturday night shows and lots of vintage photos from way back then that have been sent to the BTC by fans.
"We're inviting people to do their (wedding) proposals on stage, too," Altamirano said, laughing.
More than a few cabaret patrons have been married and had their receptions in the venue, so that aspect of the place's history is being utilized in the show, the director added.
Altamirano lives in New York City, but works frequently at the Downtown Cabaret and with the BTC, so he has a strong sense of the Fairfield County talent pool.
"I knew we could pull together a pretty strong cast for this one," he said.
The director offered high praise to the BTC artistic director Eli Newsom for putting together a strong band for the show.
"That's one of his specialties," Altamirano said of Newsom's musical chops. "He always insists on live music and live musicians ... and we've got some great guys playing."

When the Resident Evil 5 Versus downloadable content debuted on April 7, much was made of the fact that the game had not yet been out for a month, and DLC was already being thrust at fans that were probably just finishing up the game. However, what really riled fans up was the persistent rumor that this DLC was not even true additional content, but instead an unlock code that opened content already on the disc.
Either way, the Resident Evil 5 Versus downloadable content has been embroiled in controversy since it was released. Despite all the talk, Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode is great for fans of online multiplayer, and if you crave competitive play, this DLC may be worth your investment.
There are two main modes in Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode: Survivor and Slayer. Survivor is the most competitive and has you running around familiar locations looking for other players to kill. You will get points for hitting (not just killing) other players and can get bonuses for extra hits, kills, and streaks. However, if you get hit or killed, you will lose points you accumulated by killing others. The trick here involves killing people, and staying alive at the same time, and the result is some very intense gameplay.
The other mode is Slayers. This mode involves killing as many Majini as possible during a time limit. Like Survivor, Slayers gives you a base amount of points for hitting Majini, and bonus points for killing them and going on uninterrupted streaks. You also get bonus points for killing special Majini, such as the black-clad, axe-wielding baddie from the first level of the story mode. Although Slayer bears more than a passing resemblance to the unlockable Mercenaries mode, the dynamics are definitely different when you are playing online with up to four different people.
In addition to the regular versions of these modes, there is also a team version you can play to rack up cooperative points instead of just points for yourself. However, the team modes don't really add much to the gameplay, especially since working together can actually make you more of a target in Survivor mode. Still, it is nice to have the choice to work together or solo.
As far as characters are concerned, there are a total of four different characters you can play as, each with alternate costumes and weapons schemes. These four characters include (Spoiler alert!) Chris, Sheva, Wesker, and Jill. Each character has two or three bonus outfits, which brings the total roster count to ten. Fans of older Resident Evil games will be happy to know that both Wesker and Chris have their old STARS outfits available for unlocking. Playing with these characters doesn't really impact the gameplay per se, but since these characters must be unlocked by gaining points through match rankings, if you really want to earn Weskers' STARS outfit (which will cost you 10,000 points), it may be enough of an incentive to keep you in the game. (Alert over)
One thing that really concerned me about Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode was the controls. While playing other shooters like Gears of War 3 and Halo 3 is fast-paced and fun, I was worried that the stop and shoot mechanics in Resident Evil 5 would hinder the frenzied feeling that online shooters have become so famous for.

While nature has failed to provide humanity with a 360-degree visual sensory input, we can once again turn to technology to swoop in and make up for the shortcomings of our evolutionary process. Scientists in France have developed a headset that promises to give users the ability to see everything around them thanks to a smart combination of high and low tech devices balanced on top of a helmet. Yes, for once they really do manage this with mirrors… well, at least partially.
Created by a team of technicians and scientists from the Grande École d'Ingenieurs Paris-Laval, the system known as FlyVIZ relies upon visual information fed from a helmet-mounted video camera to a modified Sony Personal 3D Viewer headset. When worn by the user, the camera feed processes data to a laptop inside the user's backpack. Images are captured at a modest 640 x 480 pixel resolution, but there are already plans to bump that up to 720 pixels in the near future. It would be too obvious for the camera to just relay images of what's directly in front of the viewer; instead, thanks to specially-shaped mirrors surrounding the helmet, the visual feed can reflect what is happening all around the person wearing the headset.
After two years of development, tests are currently underway with a prototype of the system's current incarnation. According to the team responsible, initial tests have proven particularly promising: Although the 1.6 kilogram weight and design of the prototype headset/backpack/laptop combo doesn't exactly allow for casual ease of movement, those testing the FlyVIZ have been able to both catch objects thrown at them from outside of their traditional range of vision, dodge objects thrown at them from behind, and even drive a car with the only visual input coming from the FlyVIZ viewer.
Surprisingly, continued use of the headset doesn't seem to result in any ill effects for the wearer, with no reports so far from testers of any kind of nausea, motion sickness, or visual fatigue. Although the team admits that new users require about 15 minutes to get used to the unfamiliar sensory input, it appears that all testers to date have been able to maintain their depth perception despite the 2D images offered by the camera. Apparently, the viewer subconsciously "fills in" the missing data, "intuitively tracking object motion and parallax in the image to compensate for a lack of normal binocular vision," according to a report in New Scientist.
The team from the Grande École d'Ingenieurs plan to continue refining FlyVIZ over the coming months, with a view for its possible eventual use in emergency situations or potentially in armed combat.

How will students learn ethical reasoning skills?
At the core of JMU's Quality Enhancement Plan, The Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action, are "Eight Key Questions." These questions provide lenses in which to evaluate the ethical dimensions of a problem. In this video, faculty members involved in creating the QEP proposal discuss how this intriguing and rigorous approach will work across the curriculum and co-curriculum.
8 Key Questions
- Outcomes - what are the short-term and long-term outcomes of possible actions?
- Fairness - how can I act equitably and balance all interests?
- Authority - what do legitimate authorities (e.g., experts, law, my god[s]) expect of me?
- Liberty - what principles of freedom and personal autonomy apply?
- Rights - what rights (e.g., innate, legal, social) apply?
- Responsibilities - what duties and obligations apply?
- Empathy - how would I respond if I cared deeply about those involved?
- Character - what actions will help me become my ideal self?

Comes down to, how much do you want to spend?
The other issue to consider is whether you are planning to service a CF or metal frames? With CF frames, you need to be careful with where you clamp and how well the clamping force can be controlled.

For these reasons I've been thinking that I'll get a workstand that supports the bottom bracket and clamps the drop outs rather the tubes. I've seen a few around on the internet and IIRC Tacx was one of the manufacturers.

It can be rotated on a post (or you can walk around, but basically, 99% of work can be done and it would be cheap to knock up. No worries about where a frame is clamped and how hard.

One o fthe local bike shops has one where the front wheel is removed and clamped in, and the BB rests on a supportive shell arrangement (similar to a rack on a car roof) but with the back wheel hanging in fresh air.
I think the idea is that it can clamp either the fork or rear drop out (the clamp generally slides back and forth to accomodate this and different sized bikes) in case you want to work on your front end.

Yes, this is definitely the preferred setup for a lot of pro mechanics these days due to the number of CF frames. With CF, you can always swap in an alloy seat post for clamping but can get rather tedious. I've been gently clamping my CF Ridley on the top tube on my Ultimate stand. So far been good as the clamp pressure can be very finely adjusted.

And who knows, I may end up with a CF frame roadie some time in the next 12 months.
I'd be looking to clamp on the seatpost on all the bikes I have. Clamping on BB shell and chainstays or dropouts wouldn't work for the Jekyll. Chainstays are different heights and it has a Lefty fork.
How much do I want to spend? As little as possible consistent with a safe, workable solution that won't hurt the bike. For home use. Needs to be packed away when not in use.

Folds down in a compact size and sturdy when expanded. The clamp is rotatable and clamping force can be finely dialed in as you go (not preset like how quick-release works). I bought it off eBay and have found it to be worth its money. I understand that one key selection issue is the clamp. Some of the cheaper clamps have plastic components and may not be too durable nor flexible in its range of movements. Some people just buy a quality clamp (eg. Park Tools) and make their own stand. Not a bad way to go if you are handy.

fold down neatly, seems very sturdy and good adjustment on the clamp which also allows full 360 turn
i even put the heavy hardtail bike on it with no problems
so far so good
i as going to post some pics of it but unfortunately i am not allowed to just yet

It's fine for road bikes, but a bit light for my mtb. The plastic clamp is very adjustable and easily controlled.

Works a treat for cleaning and as a 'work stand'... I guess the only downside is you can only work on one side of the bike at a time. But it was cheap!
Postby Hawkeye » Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:47 pm
Test-fitted the Jekyll to the stand, and I don't think I'd be so keen on using just the seatpost to grip the bike. The base is not quite wide enough to provide a stable base with tha much of the front of the bike hanging off one end.
The good news is that the clamp is pretty finely adjustable so any reservations about the risk of crushing a tube are completely unfounded.
Overall, it seems an excellent unit for home workshop use. I can see why it got the good reviews.

Remove saddle and post from bike. Lift and turn upside down, lowering vacant seat post tube over clamped block and post. Secure, and swivels, and upside down, and free. Yes, I know the war is over....
Could even use it right way up, for gears and stuff, if you just bolt/clamp the seat post to the frame and let the bike hang. Better make sure it clamps well though, and I wouldn't exert high downward pressure on the frame, but for light service it'd be fine...

Immunotech Laboratories Receives $2M Funding Approval To Begin European Clinical Trials Testing For Company's Patented "IPF" HIV-AIDS Medicines
Feb 13, 2013, 09:20 ET
PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunotech Laboratories, Inc. ( PINKSHEETS : IMMB) Announced $2M Funding approval from Bulgarian Immunotech Partnership Company (Immunotech BG) to begin clinical trials for HIV-AIDS advanced stages.
Immunotech's associate company in Bulgaria (Immunotech BG) today confirmed the negotiations with two of the largest Bulgarian Hospitals for the start of Clinical Trials for the US Company's patented IPF-ITV and IPF-ITV Phases on 50 advanced stage patients.
Immunotech Director Bo Linton today commented "We believe that in both cases, the results will be very encouraging, as to this point we have already applied the medicine with volunteers and the results have been highly successful in Bulgaria, where the use of the vaccine labeled as an 'Experimental Drug' is permitted. The results of the Clinical Tests in Bulgaria should significantly help Fast-Track the FDA approval process in the USA, with the ultimate goal of the IPF medicines being available for treatment of HIV-AIDS patients in the USA."
Company President Harry Zhabilov stated, "The clinical trials in Bulgaria are scheduled to begin in March 2013 and will end in August 2013, which will give us the necessary results to receive approval for increased application for mass distribution for our IPF medicine."
Immunotech Laboratories BG will provide the necessary funding up to $2M for all of the above mentioned activities and contracts and all necessary related to the project, including in the USA.

Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini has launched a withering attack on referee Craig Thomson and his assistants after his side's controversial Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.
The Spanish side seemed set to qualify for the semi-finals after Eliseu struck to put them 2-1 ahead on the night, and on aggregate.
However, Marco Reus drew Dortmund level in the first minute of injury time, before Felipe Santana scrambled home the winner from a seemingly offside position with just seconds to go, sparking wild celebrations among the hosts but furious protests from the visitors.
"They did not want us in the semi-finals," an enraged Pellegrini said of the match officials. "After it went 2-1 for us, there were so many refereeing mistakes.
"The third goal was a hammer blow for us. There were two dismissals, and there was also their offside in the act of making it 3-2.
"In the final 10 minutes, we were so impaired (by the officials). In such conditions, everything becomes very difficult."
Pellegrini admitted that Malaga will struggle to get over the nature of their European exit, but called on his players to finish their Liga campaign on a high.
"It is certainly not a bitterness that will go away from one day to the next," the Chilean coach lamented. "You can talk about a cruel defeat, but I do not agree, we have played a great game.
"Now we are looking to finish the championship as best we can."
Dortmund, for their part, now move on to the semi-finals, where they have already been joined by Real Madrid, who defeated Galatasaray 5-3 on aggregate.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - State offices in the Missouri Capitol's home of Cole County will be closed Jan. 14 for the inauguration of statewide elected officials.
The festivities for Gov. Jay Nixon and first lady Georganne Nixon will start with a service at a Jefferson City church. That will be followed by the traditional parade ending at the state Capitol.
The swearing-in ceremony for five statewide officials is scheduled to start at 11:15 a.m. Missouri law states that a governor's four-year term starts at noon on the second Monday in January.
The Nixons also plan a reception at the Governor's Mansion and a barbecue showcase at a Jefferson City hotel. Inauguration Day will wrap up with a ball in the Capitol.

Set up 2-Step Verification
Add 2-Step Verification
These articles are for administrators. End users should see Turn on 2-Step Verification.
2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of security to your users' managed Google accounts by requiring them to enter a verification code in addition to their username and password when signing in to their account.
Why should I enable 2-Step Verification for my domain?
2-Step Verification helps protect a user's account from unauthorized access should someone manage to obtain their password. Even if a password is cracked, guessed, or otherwise stolen, an attacker can't sign in without access to the user's additional verification. This verification can be in the form of codes which only the user can obtain via their own mobile phone, or via an encrypted signature contained on a security key.
2-Step Verification should always be enabled and enforced for all Super Administrator, VIP, sensitive access accounts, and all user accounts.
- To use 2-Step Verification you need to have a phone to approve sign-in attempts. You can use an Android or iPhone with a data connection to receive phone prompts or the Authenticator app to generate verification codes while off-line. You may also choose to receive verification codes via text message or phone call. After 2-SV is enabled, users can also use Security Keys or print backup codes.
- Note: If SAML single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your domain Google's 2-Step Verification will not apply when logging on through your SSO. Super Administrators, however, can login via both Google and SSO IdP. If the login goes through Google and 2-Step Verification is configured, the admin is prompted for the 2nd factor. If the login goes through SSO IdP, even if 2-Step Verification is configured, we don't prompt for the 2nd factor. See Partner-operated SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) Service for G Suite for additional details on using SSO for your domain.
Note: If you're an API developer, read API Developers before enrolling in 2-Step Verification.
How it works
- You enable 2-Step Verification for your domain in your Google Admin console. See Set up 2-Step Verification for your domain for how to enable 2-Step Verification for your account. We recommend that you notify your users of this new security process and include instructions on how to get started.
Note: Although users must opt-in to 2-Step Verification themselves, you may require them to do so. Do not make this change until all users have opted in, or they will be locked out of their managed Google account (for example, G Suite or Cloud Identity). See the Enforcement article for instructions.
- The user enrolls in 2-Step Verification and selects the method for receiving their verification code on their mobile phone: Google prompt, the Authenticator app, text message or phone call, Security Key or printable backup codes. How quickly they get their prompt, code via text message or phone call depends on their data connection, service provider and/or location. We recommend users with smartphones to use Google prompt while online or the Authenticator app while without a network connection. Point your users to About 2-Step Verification for step by step instructions.
- The next time the user signs in to their managed Google account on a new browser or device, they enter their username and password as usual. They're then prompted with a second page to enter a verification code. When your user checks Remember verification for this computer, they're only prompted to enter a verification code once every 30 days per browser or after deleting their browser's cookies. Your users should not check this if they're at a public or shared computer.
- Depending on how they opted to receive their code, the user gets their time-based, one-time code from the Google Authenticator app on their smartphone or via text message or phone call. They then enter the code to successfully sign in.
If a user loses their phone, they can use backup codes to sign in. See Sign in using backup codes.
Signing in to mobile devices with app passwords
Once your users enroll in 2-Step Verification, they may need to use app passwords in addition to their verification codes. For installed applications that don't have a 2-Step Verification field, your users will need to enter an app password once per device or application in place of their regular password to access their Google Account. See Sign in to mobile or desktop apps for more details.
Remember that good security practices are critical to the integrity of your user's Google Account. Learn more at Keeping your account secure.
Note: The G Suite Service Level Agreement does not apply to any services used in connection with 2-Step Verification if the verification process relies on third-party voice or data providers to deliver the verification code.
Note: When you disable 2-Step Verification for a user their registered security keys are revoked.
Note: We suggest that users with personal account information on their security keys should revoke access to that information before returning their security key.

Making mistakes is human, and so is fixing them. In your day-to-day programming adventures, it's inevitable to introduce bugs in your PHP code, especially when you're writing very complex applications with tens of thousands of lines of code spread across tens of files.
When you're prototyping an application, being able to avoid common programming mistakes is important to ensure that your code will be well-written from the very start. In this chapter, we'll provide you with some guidelines on writing efficient code, debugging faulty scripts, and identifying bottlenecks when performance becomes an issue for both you and your clients.Terms You'll Need to Understand
Coding standard
Code readability
Comparison operators
Writing readable code
Proper commenting
Comparing heterogeneous data
Identifying and preventing performance bottlenecks
Preventing performance issues
Improving database performance
Using content and bytecode caching
Writing your code in a structured manner is, perhaps, the smartest decision you can make. Although there aren't any predefined coding standards that everyone in the programming community recognizes as better than the rest, deciding from the very beginning on a set of conventions will go a long way toward helping you make fewer mistakes.
Documenting your code is particularly important. To make this job—probably at the top of the Ten Most Hated Tasks of programmers worldwide—a bit easier, you can even use one of the many automated tools available on the market, such as PHPDocumentor, which can extract documentation directly from your code if you structure your comments in a particular way.
Regardless of how you introduce them in your applications, good comments and documentation will make sharing your code with other members of your team easier, as well as make sure that you'll remember what it does when you get back from that three-week vacation. Remember, preventing bugs is much better than hunting for them.
Extra whitespace and empty lines, although unimportant as far as the functionality of your code is concerned, can be an extremely valuable tool for writing better code:
if ($foo == 'bar') { $i = 0; /** * foreach loop, get the content out of it */ foreach ( .... ) { } }
By separating your code into logical groups, your source will be cleaner and easier to read. Also, indenting each line according to the code block it belongs to helps you figure out immediately what the structure of your script is.{mospagebreak title=Flattening if Statements}
Consider the following snippet of code:
if ($is_allocated) { if ($has_been_mangled) { if ($foo == 5) { print "foo is 5"; } else { print "You entered the wrong data!"; } } else { return false; } } else { return false; }
As you can see, the many nested if statements here cause the code to look very busy and difficult to read. An easy way to improve the situation consists of "flattening" your if statements so that you can achieve the minimum level of indentation without compromising either the functionality of your code or its performance. The preceding script, for example, could be rewritten as follows:
if (!$is_allocated) { return false; } if (!$has_been_mangled) { return false; } if ($foo == 5) { print "foo is 5"; } else { print "You entered the wrong data!"; }
This approach gives you a better structure with fewer levels of nesting so that your code is easier to understand. Note that the type of operations performed is pretty much the same as before—and the elimination of two else statements will make the code easier to parse for the interpreter.{mospagebreak title=Splitting Single Commands Across Multiple Lines}
One of the great things about PHP is that it doesn't require you to write a single statement all on one line of code. In fact, any statement can be split across an arbitrary number of lines without any change in its functionality—provided, of course, that the split doesn't take place in the middle of a text string. This is particularly useful when you have a complex line of code that spans a large number of characters:
$db->query("select foo, bar, mybar as foobar from tbl1 where tbl1.mybar='foo'");
This database query is split over several lines. The main advantage here is that you can immediately see what the query does, which tables are involved, and which conditions you are placing in the where clause. If the same query had been placed all on the same line, understanding its purpose would have taken a lot more effort, and the risk of introducing new bugs by modifying it would have been greater.Concatenation Versus Substitution
If you are inserting data into a long string—such as a database query—you can use the concatenation operator, but doing so often limits your ability to read the query properly:
$db->query ("insert into foo(id,bar) values('".addslashes($id). "','".addslashes($bar)."')");
On the other hand, you could just use one of the printf() functions to do the job for you:
$db->query(sprintf("insert into foo(id,bar)
values('%s','%s')", addslashes($id), addslashes($bar) ));
As you can see, the entire statement is now a lot easier to read, although you will lose some performance by switching to sprintf() from the concatenation operator, which is native to the PHP interpreter and doesn't require the execution of any external libraries. The literals in the string passed to sprintf() will be substituted with the values of the parameters passed afterwards in the order in which they appear in the call. Combined with the ability to split your commands over several lines, this approach can enhance readability to a large degree.Choose Your Opening Tags Carefully
Mixing PHP and HTML code is one of the characteristics of PHP that make it both easy to use and powerful, although it's easy to abuse this capability and come up with code that is difficult to read.
When writing code for an application that could run on heterogeneous systems, it's always a good idea to be very careful about which opening tag styles you use. In Chapter 1, "The Basics of PHP," we mentioned that there are several of them, but only the canonical tags <?php ?> are fully portable. Short tags (which include the echo tag <?=) and ASP tags can all be turned off through PHP configuration directives.
Thus, the following
<?php print "Testing 1 2 3" ?>
is longer than
<?= "Testing 1 2 3" ?>
But not quite as portable. Note, also, that there is a subtle difference between print and echo. Although they are both language constructs, the former acts as a function—meaning that it actually returns a value (always a Boolean True)—whereas the latter does not. Thus, the following code is valid, although quite pointless:
<?php echo print (10) ?>{mospagebreak title=One Equal, Two Equals, Three Equals}
How often did you write the following code?
if ($a = 5) { print "a is 5"; }
If you're like most programmers, the answer is an unfortunate "often." The problem here is caused by the fact that the if statement allows for any operations to take place inside its condition—including assignments. Thus, the preceding line is not technically incorrect, but it's obviously not what the author intended to perform, as it will always be evaluated to true, making the if statement pointless and, what's worse, changing the value of $a.
Clearly, the statement should have been written as follows:
if ($a == 5 { print "a is 5"; }
In this case, the condition is a comparison operator, and it will be evaluated as true only if the value of $a is 5.
There is, luckily, a very easy way to avoid this mistake once and for all, without any possibility of ever slipping again: make sure that the condition is written in such a way that it cannot possibly be misinterpreted:
if (5 == $a) { print "a is 5"; }
With this approach, if you mistakenly only use one equal sign instead of two, as in 5 = $a, the interpreter will print out an error because you can't assign anything to an immediate value. If you make a habit of writing all your conditions this way, you will never fall in the assignment trap again!There's Equal and Equal
As we mentioned in Chapter 1, PHP is a loosely typed language. This means that, under the right circumstances, it will automatically juggle data types to perform its operations according to how programmers are most likely to want it to.
There are scenarios, however, in which this is not a desirable approach, and you want, instead, PHP to be strict and literal in the way it compares data. Consider, for example, what would happen if you were dealing with information coming from a patient's medical record. In this situation, you'll want to make sure that nothing is left to chance and that PHP doesn't attempt to interpret user input in too liberal a way.
Generally speaking, it's always a good idea to use the identity operators (=== and !==) whenever you know that a value has to be of a certain type:
if ($a !== 0) { echo '$a is not an integer zero'; }{mospagebreak title=Testing for Resource Allocation}
One of the most common mistakes that causes code to become unreliable consists of using external resources without ensuring that they are available. For example, look at the following code:
$res = mysql_query("select foo from bar"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { print $row['foo']."
"; }
See what's wrong? The author doesn't test for the query's failure before moving on to perform other tasks that use the resource returned by mysql_query(). The query could fail for a number of reasons, even though it is syntactically correct—for example, the server might be unavailable, or there could be a network interruption. What's worse in this particular case, the MySQL extension does not cause a fatal error if a query cannot be executed. Therefore, the script moves on, and a cascade of additional problems could be caused by this initial blunder.
If, on the other end, error conditions are properly tested for, this issue doesn't even present itself:
if (!$res = mysql_query("select foo from bar")) { /** * no valid result, log/print error,
mysql_error() will tell you */ } else { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { print $row['foo']."
"; } }
It's undoubtedly hard to write an if statement every time you execute a query—but also necessary if you are serious about error management. To make things a bit easier on yourself (and your entire team), you could adopt one of the many abstraction layers available or write one yourself. This way, the actual error management can be performed in a centralized location (the abstraction layer), and you won't have to write too much code.
It's important to keep in mind that this process is required whenever you interact with an external resource, be it a database, a file, or a network connection.
Starting with PHP 5, you can use other error-control structures known as exceptions. However, remember that these are not available in PHP 4 and, therefore, cannot be used to solve a problem that appears in the exam.Ternary Operators and if Statements
if statements are necessary control structures for all but the simplest of PHP scripts. As a result, sometimes they will tend to be very complex, even if you nest them on various levels.
Luckily, the ternary conditional operator that you saw in Chapter 1 can be used to simplify the use of if statements by embedding them directly in a larger expression. For example, consider the following snippet of code:
function is_my_country($country) { if (strlen($country) == 3) { return 1; } else { return 0; } }
It could also be written as
function is_my_country($country) { return (strlen($country)==3) ? 1 : 0; }
As you can see, the function is much shorter than the if statement in the preceding example. This can be very valuable if you're dealing with a complex piece of code such as the following:
$db->query(sprintf("insert into foo(f1,f2,f3)
values('%s','%s','%s')", (isset($_SESSION['foobar'])) ? 'yes' : 'no', (isset($_POST['myfoo']) && $_POST['myfoo']!='')
? $_POST['myfoo'] : 'no', 'foo'));
A call such as the preceding one would have been a lot more complex if it had been written using traditional if statements—not to mention that you would have needed either a number of new variables to hold the information, or a different set of function calls for each possible scenario.
Please check back next week for the conclusion of this article.

Shane Meadows felt 'most pressure' for Stone Roses film
- Bang Showbiz
- 8 November 2013
Shane Meadows felt the "most pressure" he's ever been under to make 'The Stone Roses: Made of Stone' a big success because he is such a huge fan of the band
Shane Meadows felt the "most pressure" he's ever been under to make 'The Stone Roses: Made of Stone' a success.
The 'This is England' director is a huge fan of the group and as a result he was desperate to ensure the documentary film wasn't a flop both for the sake of his career and the 'She Bangs the Drums' hitmakers' loyal fan base.
Speaking at 2013 Virgin Media Shorts at London's BFI IMAX last night (07.11.13), he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "That's probably been the most pressure I've ever felt in my life because there are so many things stacked on top of each other.
"You've got a comeback of the band that no one thought would reform and everyone had given up all hope of them reforming. And then they reform and you're sort of giving the job of making a film.
"It was the dream job but also everyone is going to expect something amazing. They put my name together with their name, obviously they're a much bigger name than me, but we probably share some fans and everyone was probably thinking it was a dream combination.
"In a way sometimes you're doomed to fail on those jobs."
The 'Dead Man's Shoes' helmer took to the stage at the Virgin Media Shorts ceremony to present Nimer Rashed with the Grand Prize - which includes £30,000 funding towards his next movie - for his short film 'Touch'.
Meadows - who was on the judging panel - said: "The creativity and breath of talent displayed in the shortlist this year made my job as a judge very tricky. Touch is a beautiful short that manages to convey a range of emotions in a simple and powerful way. It tells a story that we all at some point have been affected by."
Other stars who walked the red carpet on the night included British actresses Olivia Hallinan - who shot to fame in teen drama 'Sugar Rush' - 'Mr Selfridge' actress Katherine Kelly and 'Fresh Meat' beauty Catherine Steadman.

An Obama administration appointee has resigned in connection with another bombshell report detailing the waste of taxpayer money at feel-good conferences -- this time, at a pair of Veterans Affairs summits in Orlando that cost more than $6 million.
John Sepulveda, who as assistant secretary for human resources and administration was the agency's top HR official, resigned just as the VA Office of Inspector General released its 150-page report on the conferences, held on his watch in July and August 2011.
The report said he "abdicated his responsibilities" in overseeing the conferences, leading to "numerous examples of excessive costs, and unnecessary and unsupported expenditures."
The resignation follows that of General Services Administration chief Martha Johnson, who stepped down following a report on a 2010 Vegas conference for GSA that cost taxpayers more than $800,000.
The Veterans Affairs conferences were far costlier, with the planning described as "dysfunctional" by the IG report.
And the IG report included allegations that Sepulveda made a false statement to investigators, and that other VA employees broke federal law and conduct policies by accepting improper gifts from hotels during the selection process.
The conferences for the department's human resources employees included a litany of expenses covering everything from whimsical videos to karaoke to hors d'oeuvres, including artisan cheese displays.
One of those expenses, a video parody of the movie "Patton" in which an actor pep-talked the audience about HR "mission imperatives" in the style of the original movie's opening scene, had already drawn lawmakers' attention earlier this year when the nearly $50,000 expense first surfaced.
The IG report, though, documented another $16,500 video expense for a so-called "Happy Face Video." This was a daily video recap of the prior day's conference events, which according to the report was "improperly authorized."
The report specifically flagged $762,000 in "unauthorized, unnecessary, and/or wasteful expenses" -- which included the "Patton" video, as well as $43,000 in awards paid to staffers "for their roles in the management of these conferences."
The IG's office tallied $6.1 million in total costs, though acknowledged the full price tag could be even higher.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, decried what he called a "lack of leadership" and called for accountability.
"It is blatantly clear that VA does not know how much it spends on conferences," he said. "This sort of funny money accounting must stop, and will no longer be tolerated, especially in today's tight fiscal climate."
The report further alleged that Sepulveda gave a "false statement" in claiming to investigators that he hadn't seen the Patton video until the first day of the conference.
"However, several individuals testified that Mr. Sepulveda in fact viewed the videos before the conferences took place," the report said. The IG's office said the Department of Justice declined to prosecute the alleged false statement.
The VA announced a series of departmental changes in response to the investigation.
"While the IG report makes clear that 'VA held these conferences to fulfill valid training needs' and 'offered legitimate, substantive training courses at the conferences,' this does not excuse the misconduct of even a few individuals," the department said. "Misuse of taxpayer dollars is completely unacceptable. The actions cited in the report represent serious lapses in oversight, judgment, and stewardship."
The VA said other employees will have allegations of wrongdoing reviewed for appropriate administrative action. Two employees, the VA said, were placed on administrative leave pending review.
"Employees who have misused taxpayer dollars or violated VA standards of conduct will be held accountable," the department said.
The IG report also found 11 department employees in charge of managing the conference "improperly accepted gifts from contractors seeking to do business or already doing business with VA." These ranged from lodging to meals to helicopter rides to massages.
Further, the report said one unnamed employee tried to get Marriott to give him and his family "additional lodging benefits."

Safety Brandon Taylor has the last contract standing.
The third-round pick is the Chargers' only selection yet to sign with the team, as all six others have officially inked deals.
On Thursday, fourth-rounder Ladarius Green, fifth-rounder Johnnie Troutman and running back Edwin Baker, a seventh-round pick, arrived in San Diego and signed four-year contracts.
Earlier in the week, top picks outside linebacker Melvin Ingram and defensive end Kendall Reyes agreed to terms with the Chargers, and center David Molk, a seventh-round selection, penned a four-year deal.
For Taylor, this isn't DEFCON 3.
When the team begins its three-day rookie minicamp Friday, he's still eligible to participate.
Green, at 6-foot-6 and 238 pounds, packages size with athleticism.
The receiving tight end averaged about 18 yards a reception in 2010 as a junior, catching 44 passes for 794 yards and seven touchdowns. He had 51 receptions, 606 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior.
Green is one of four tight ends projected to make the Chargers' final roster. Antonio Gates, Randy McMichael and Dante Rosario are the others with Kory Sperry and Brad Taylor also in the mix.
Troutman, in 32 starts as Penn State's left guard, didn't yield a complete sack. He had a clean sheet as a senior, penalized not once on 885 plays. He also didn't allow a quarterback sack or pressure on 381 pass attempts.
The 6-foot-4, 325-pounder injured himself in the weight room last month. He underwent pectoral surgery days before the draft, putting the playing status for his rookie season in doubt.
But the big picture has promise, coach Norv Turner says.
On Thursday, he called Troutman "a good player that projects real favorably into what we like to do offensively."
Baker was an early-entry junior out of Michigan State. His most productive year came in 2010, rushing for 1,201 yards and 12 touchdowns. He's in the mix for one of two backup running back spots behind Ryan Mathews.
