PHP if statement explained with Robots and James Brown’s Sex Machine
George Ornbo over at ShapeShed (an EE shop, go admire the majesty) wrote a cute introduction to the PHP "if" statment. If you can't have fun with your code... well, then you just plain can't have fun.
I get a fair few requests from designers asking for help with basic PHP. So I'm going to write a series on very basic PHP. It is not hard so let's start with a robot and the if statement.
Not normally worthy of a mention, but he uses robots to explain, and everyone knows I'm a fool for robots; but also offers this masterful bit of PHP code (slightly altered, for brevity).
if ($button == "pressed") {
echo "I am alive and will now perform Sex Machine by James Brown";
}
else {
echo "Malfunction! Broken, destroyed, smashed.";
}
Why do I get the sense that this title is going to get me banned from Google?
