What the PHP...

 Not only is PHP syntax sometimes not intuitive *ahem foreach loop*, it is sometimes just completely out of this world.

Why does the iterable come first in a foreach loop???

I'm learning about variables and apparently you can, for lack of a better term, nest them. I'm not sure why you would ever need to do something so bizarre, except for kicks and giggles.

Valid PHP

Also valid PHP


Incredibly, ALSO valid PHP👀

So long and thanks for all the fish! Part 1 of 2

I have been with the Tech Academy both as a software developer bootcamp student, as well as an employee.

Using Modals to render forms

A student wanted to create several tables with foreign keys linking them. He was placing the forms all over the place and that just didn't seem to make sense to me. I suggested that he link all the forms to one main registration page, and while he worked on it, I came up with my own solution that I feel rather proud of. Though I'm well aware it is a very simple solution.  views.py def register (request): # form for team formteam = TeamForm(request.POST or None ) if formteam.is_valid(): formteam.save() return redirect( 'registerForTeam' ) else : print (formteam.errors) formteam = TeamForm() # form for coach formcoaches = CoachesForm(request.POST or None ) if formcoaches.is_valid(): formcoaches.save() return redirect( 'registerForTeam' ) else : print (formcoaches.errors) formcoaches = CoachesForm() # form for player formplayer = PlayersForm(request.POST or None ...
