@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be PHP5 was so terrible they never even made a PHP6 and went straight to PHP7.

I'm not joking, that's actually what happened.

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be Yeah, PHP5 really sucked and it's also most of the reason why PHP has a really bad name to this day still. People don't realize that modern PHP is actually really nice and comfy and has all the modern features.

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be Yes, since PHP 7

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Sorry I already did it

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Just glancing over the codebase the tutorial you used contains a lot of outdated PHP concepts.

There's a lot of cool new syntax that you're missing out that makes life a lot easier.

$array[] = $item instead of array_push($array, $item).

$array = [] instead of $array = array().

if ($variable) instead of if (!empty($variable) (PHP is loose typed, which is a good thing).

Variable names with camelCase instead of snake_case (This is according to modern PSR-12 standards).

In HTML templates use <?= $variable; ?> instead of <?php echo $variable; ?>, it's a really nice shorthand.

You can easily make your code less error prone by adding types to functions return types and parameters: function togglePublishPost(int $postId, string $message): void instead of function togglePublishPost($post_id, $message).

Do not return exception messages to the browser: catch (Exception $e) { return $e->getMessage(); }. This could provide an attacker with sensitive information about your server. Write this to a log file instead.

While not wrong technically I also highly recommend dropping any functional programming patterns in favor of OOP.

And if you really want to build something nice I recommend getting started with a framework such as Laravel.

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be @puniko@mk.absturztau.be Do you want me to review this?

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be Oh. Yeah this is like similar to the material I had in my first year of compsci for real. 10 years ago...

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be At least it's using PDO and not mysqli

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be Is this a custom made CMS like we all used to do 15 years ago? Is this code actually in production?

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be OH DEAR I JUST NOTICED THE MD5 PASSWORD HASH

@Stellar@mk.absturztau.be This is either a first year compsci student project or generated by an LLM because it is incredibly outdated and every comment is super verbose for no reason.

@VD15@pl.valkyrie.world What is "skynet" mode?

How do you even begin to explain this to someone foreign

"Lintjesgate"

@iro_miya@mk.absturztau.be I totally agree with nuking Amsterdam tho

@cypnk@hackers.town I wish he would visit me because I would love to have a CRT for my GameCube actually

@newt@stereophonic.space @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @mer@shrine.moe I think it's good because it's not on the nose like a lot of other satire to the general audience.

But I gotta say I think RoboCop and Total Recall are both much better movies.

Also don't sleep on his Dutch movies like Turks Fruit.

@newt@stereophonic.space @mer@shrine.moe

@newt@stereophonic.space @arcana@fedi.layer02.net @mer@shrine.moe You can't just disagree with the director on what they are trying to make.

You can say it was a bad satire, but you can't say it isn't satire.
