https://floss.social/@servo/114263266479139385 I don't have any stake in @servo, but I very much agree with @delan against the use of AI.

Already having need to deal with multiple people using AI to comment on #PHP doc issues to just regurgitate nonsense that confuses the author or said issue by trying to be "helpful" is a recurring thing that wastes my time and makes me angry.

Refactoring Challenge: Does your PHP code run multiple SQL queries inside a loop? Optimize it by fetching data in a single query. How would you improve it?

In my public PHP libraries, I've taken to using `strspn()` to determine whether a string has allowed characters, e.g.:

```
strspn($string, CHARS) === strlen($string)
```

I can't remember why I started doing this, and I haven't run the benchmarks, but this might be more performant than using regular expressions. Does anyone already know if that's the case?

There's no `mb_strspn()`, so what would you use if you were trying to avoid regex and needed to match multibyte characters.

"PHP is now the best choice for web based software".

I would say "ONE of the best" (depends). Not that I took the "Yo #PHP is dead" remarks in the past seriously (outside of a moment when Ruby on Rails was hot). But reminders never hurt.

#ampache is now using the new #discogs #php library which has been extracted from the code into it's own library.

The goal is to keep it simple for data retrieval and it will hopefully be usable for others in their own #dev work.

#PHP operations on #mysqli are a treat. They return either the expected object, or a true/false boolean.

Connection fails? Boolean. Succeeds? Connection object. Preparing an #SQL statement fails? Boolean. Succeeds? Statement object. Binding parameters to prepared statement fails? Boolean. Succeeds? Boolean. Executing the statement fails? Boolean. Succeeds? Boolean as well, or an associative array, depending on intent.

And thanks.
