  • PHP array and object addition and string indexing

    While reading someone’s code, I came across the following sort of thing: function foo($config = array()) { $this->_config += $config; //… } To which I thought WTF? How does PHP cast an array to a number to perform addition? A few random tests later, it appears PHP joins the two arrays together, only adding indexes…

  • Postfixadmin 2.3

    Finally, I/we have gotten around to deciding Postfixadmin is ready for it’s next release (2.3)… it’s been sometime, and certainly a lot longer than I’d originally anticipated!
