identifier

I'm doing MVC in PHP, and i'd like to have a list() method inside my Controller, to have the URL /entity/list/parent_id, to show all the "x" that belong to that parent. However, I can't have a method called list(), since it's a PHP reserved keyword. In VB.Net, for example, if I need to have something with a name that clashes with a reserved keyword, I can wrap it in [reserved_name]. In SQL, you can do the same thing. In MySQL, you use the backtick ` Is there some syntax in PHP that specifies "treat this as an identifier, not as a keyword"? (NOTE: I know I can use routes to do this without

I'm doing some research to help me develop a REST API and this is one topic I haven't seen discussed in depth anywhere. If I have a user in the system, is it better to identify the user using a numeric identifier /users/1 Or using a string identifier? /users/RSmith I can see hypothetical potential pros and cons to each approach, string identifiers are more human readable, less discoverable (can't be incremented to find valid users), and don't require storing another numeric id in the database (I wouldn't want to expose database ids through the API). Numeric identifiers have no inherent meaning

This question already has an answer here: Can I use non existing CSS classes? 13 answers For example if I wanted to select some elements with a certain class using jQuery, and for that reason only, is it always expected that those classes SHOULD be defined in the css?. <div class="xyz"> something </div> <div class="xyz"> something else </div> //with example jQuery $(".xyz").hide(); //is it wrong no element 'xyz' is defined in css? Using CSS classes and - depending on the case - IDs (unique!!) is perfectly fine and often the only solution to keep your HTML code valid while giving additional

I'm using the Synapse library in a Delphi project to do some networking. When I try and use one of the Types that are defined in the external units, i.e: 'TTCPBlockSocket', it has the red underline and says "Undeclared Identifier 'TTCPBlockSocket'". The files are all in the correct folders and the 'uses' statement can find them and shows no errors. The strange thing is that I've had an identical setup in another project and there have been no errors in that project. As a note: I can't install/edit the software/settings, so I can't add any fixes. This is a well-known bug in Error Insight . It

Possible Duplicate: Unique file identifier in windows I need to retrieve a unique identifier for certain files on the computer, and have only came across the Win32 GetFileInformationByHandle function. How can I accomplish this with the. NET framework? Update: I need a persistent id that will not change if the file is moved, updated, renamed, etc. Update2: How can the same be accomplished with folders? Michael Schnerring Here's some code from Ashley Henderson I copied from this answer . It implies two approaches which both return the same unique identifier. public class WinAPI { [DllImport(

I'm developing an application that create permalinks. I'm not sure how save the documents in MondoDB. Two strategies: ObjectId autogeneration MongoDB autogenerates the _id . I need to create an index on the permalink field because I get the information by the permalink. Also I can access to the creation time of the ObjectId, using the getTimestamp() method, so datetime fields seems to be redundant but if I delete this field I need two calls to MongoDB one to take the information and another to take the timestamp. { "_id": ObjectId("5210a64f846cb004b5000001"), "permalink": "ca8W7mc0ZUx43bxTuSGN

Identifiers are well defined by The Java Language Specification, Java SE 7 Edition (§3.8) An identifier is an unlimited-length sequence of Java letters and Java digits, the first of which must be a Java letter. As far as I know, since a method name is an identifier, It should be impossible to name a method starting with a digit in java, and javac respects this rule. So, why does the Java Virtual Machine seem to not respect this rule by allowing us to name a function starting with numbers, in Bytecode? This simple snippet will actually print the f99() method name and the value of its parameter.
