Welcome to the PHP ProXion Library thread! This thread will cover information, updates, download links, bug/fixes, ect. I hope people will start programming with ProXion and receive great feedback from the people who uses ProXion.

I decided to make ProXion to test my PHP abilities. ProXion was really a private library until I decided to actually release it to the public. ProXion was made for complicated programming. There are functions to make things very easy as well. I also created ProXion because I have gotten really bored with the same old PHP. Coding PHP is very fun, though it needs something new. If you want the newest version of ProXion, there is a function that tells you the latest version and you can get it either here or at the official website with this thread of ProXion.











Notice: You guys might ask in the comments. What is the point of using ProXion's Library for PHP. I actually prepared myself a logical answer to that question and I will also reply questions to you. I said this before, ProXion started off as a private library. I decided to actually release it to the public because I wanted feedback. Now to answer the question "What is the point of using ProXion's Library" is simply because I know some people are tired of the same PHP functions similar to "ECHO(), EXIT(), STR_REPLACE(), ect." ProXion also has other functions that are not developed by PHP but JavaScript like that fast alert function ProXion::alert($arg1);! I hope for you guys to use/enjoy this library.

I have tried this myself and it seems pretty straight forward for a library which intends a little bit of a challenge.
As you can see from the screenshots, you must include the mid-encrypted file itself then you can use ProXion::FUNCTION();.
ProXion:: is there so you can use functions from the library without getting errors while doing your normal coding.

Even though having ProPrint() to print a string replacing is a bit strange, you can always make all of that into a variable.
A simple example of the code would be...

<?php
include_once('ProXion.php';

ProXion::-ProPrint('reg', ProXion::-ProPlace('ponies','unicorns','I like ponies!'-)); // Remove all dashes

?>

I know, longer than how you would use it in PHP BUT "reg" (regular) is just one arg, you can use a few which I believe 'preg' is one? Preg would be 'preg_match()', so it technically is shortening things. In fact, the code I've used above may not need to have a function mentioned within ProPrint().

The library should be interesting for you web developers out there, it's worth a shot even for its early stage.

I am still looking at this myself and may plan to add this to my sites to make things more interesting (that is when more is being done like support for RySQL).

Really don't see the point in this...

If you get "tired" of standard functions, then maybe PHP isn't right for you.

Using a library for EVERYTHING slows your scripts down and decreases performance for the server.

Why use a function called "alert" (or whatever your equivalent is) when you can just do "echo"?

You're making PHP do POINTLESS PROCESSING. If there is a built in function, just use it. Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

This is NOT good for performance because when it comes right down to it, the library just uses built-in functions to make different functions. Sure, you can add some pizazz to it, but nothing too fancy that would make me use this library over another.

Why make the PHP interpreter do USELESS thinking and I/O?

THIS is your interpreter:

"Okay. Let's run this script. Okay...function alert()...let me allocate memory for that and process it...wait. It's not really that different from echo()? I just wasted allocating memory for this function that does hardly anything different! And if it does, it requires passing cryptic parameters that also have to be processed....Ugh"

People never read forums.

Your quotes are slightly incorrect GuitarBoy. Yeah, I will say I'm tired of regular PHP because I want something new. I never said I wouldn't use regular PHP functions. I've been programming PHP for 2 Years straight.

The functions, ProPrint and Alert() are just starting functions. You don't have to use it. Those functions are totally optional. I'm not going to be doing this with 90% functions. You may be right on it slowing down performance in PHP, though I wanted some people to actually explore ProXion just once. Then you are making the wrong point on the alert function when you said "cryptic" parameters on alert. Read this carefully: Alert has one parameter. I can tell you didn't read the whole damn thing. ProPrint is the function you print with. I made ProXion just to test my php skills. Another reasonable reason I made ProXion because you rarely see custom PHP libraries. Name at least 3 custom PHP Libraries? Its like you are saying "PHP shouldn't have Libraries" Oh. This is just the beginning. There will be hundreds of PHP ProXion functions. I do think when I when I make my functions and hope for ProXion to be a huge hit.

Quiz. Name a function that checks a function to see if its true... You found nothing... I'm basically making my own functions without making Spin-Off with other functions with 90% of the functions. As you can tell, ProPrint and ProPlace were just something fun.

Also. I seen your JavaScript library and thought "You were criticizing ProXion?" There are WAY more Javascript Libraries than PHP. Your stuff seems to be a waste of time so...

Woah man. Calm down. I'm not trying to piss you off.

I DID read the whole thing, I was just using "alert" as an example. I know it only had one parameter, given the context of YOUR library. I'm just saying, if you make any spinoffs of native functions, try to keep consistency in the order of the arguments and by not adding extra ones. That will confuse and detur people if you don't.

And I'm not saying PHP shouldn't have libraries.
I'm saying that libraries shouldn't accomplish simple things that native code can easily.

I made a simple image handling library to resize, compress, and check properties of images, because I always found the PHP GD function names hard to remember. I also added chaining

The point in libraries is to "write less, do more".
Not to write about the same code that accomplishes the same thing, give or take a few extra bytes for function calls and different function names.

This library you are making is too general. Libraries usually have a main focus. Ex. Mine for images, and jQuery for DOM manipulation in JavaScript.

And just so you know, I've been working with PHP for about 4 years.

Oh, and a function to check if a function is true?
If by that you mean check if a function RETURNS true, all you have to do is this:

if(myfunction('foo' === true){
#execute code if function returns true
}

And my stuff is not a waste of time. Every code I write adds experience to my belt because I learn from my shortcomings and from the shortcomings of my code.

I see your point here. Though the if statement is not classified as a function. Its more of a condition.

There are other way(s) to write that.

($var === TRUE) ? 'ITS TRUE' : 'ITS FALSE';

How I simplify it down. I put it to an function.

ProXion::chk4Tru(arg1,arg2,arg3);
arg1 = function or a varible can place of here so this function can actually check to see if it is true
arg2 = if the function/varible returns FALSE, this arguement should simply exit(); it is false. I might need to change it to an echo statement though. >.o
arg3 = if the funtion/varible returns TRUE, this will echo what ever you want.

ProXion::chk4Tru($var,'THIS STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE','THIS STATEMENT IS TRUE';

Though, I am actually giving PHP ProXion's functions past that point. Where 50 lines of coding to equal one. Proprint(), ProPlace(), alert(), toURL() are just demo versions of ProXion. I will actually release USEFUL functions at version 0.7.5 version 0.8.0. For now, regular functions.
