One week of PHP-Pain

This past week i've been struggling with PHP. I knew even before going into the week that this would mean pain. My PHP skills are extremely limited and I honestly think the language is a pain to work with. The biggest problem for me is the lack of debugging methods in PHP. I love breakpoints and console outputs for debugging, none of the above is possible when you send code from the iPhone to a PHP-script.

What I wanted to do is to send my JSON-Quiz from "Quizer" (The app I'm working on) to the server. And then parse it into the database. After a weeks struggle that is now working. You can create a Quiz from the phone and load a quiz from the server to the phone. What's left now in this process is to debug the app so it won't crash when the request takes longer time then usual (3G networks can be so slow at HTTP-requests.)

The week ended on a double-happy-note when I arrived home this friday and meet my new best friend, MacBook Air:

MacBook Air "13

The computer is wonderful to work with, and it's so thin and light it's amazing.. I only hope the 4gb RAM will be enough for my use.

This is the PHP script for Quizer if anyone wonders how it turned out (I know it's an easy one.. when you know PHP):
