[phpforfun]

John and I were talking about this, and I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else messes up.. lol

For me, I code PHP, I have 2 major errors..
1. I will type l instead of ;
example:

Quote

<? echo "hello world!"l ?>

I do that alot...

2. I type ( instead of { or ) instead of }
example:

Quote

<? if(isset($username))( echo "its set"; } else { echo "its not set"; } ?>

how about you guys :P

Whey I use some function inside of other I forgot some ( )

1.- Incorrect

<? if(isset($variable) { echo "jojo"; } else { echo "jiji"; } ?>

2.- Correct

<? if(isset($variable)) { echo "jojo"; } else { echo "jiji"; } ?>

When I'm into C#, if I don't use comments when I'm using a lot of { and } I end up forgetting one or two and I end up with tons of errors... and I really mess the whole indentation thing.

I'll bet you do...

My most common error is a TooCharmingForPlanetEarthException... I mean, I accidentally add in a semicolon in VB.

[TcM]

Sometimes I do that too. I can't remember an error I used to make in VB.

My biggest biggest mistake is kinda like PHPforfuns except i just forget to end the line altogether.

<? echo "Goodbye World" ?> 

should be

<? echo "Goodbye World"; ?>

that and extra white space were it should not be!

Sometimes I start at the top, and keep going down... and forget the ?> tag, lol

In ASP, not closing ALL the parenthesis:

Response.write(queryRS("somefield")

mine errors genuinely is forgetting semicolons at end of lines, and using the right amount of quotes or apostrophes where applicable.

I program mostly PHP at the moment...

In C#

I sometimes make

int userInput = int.Parse(Console.Readline();

It should be

int userInput = int.Parse(Console.Readline());

I miss the last bracket.

It's a shame the IDE doesn't add it in automatically. :(
