#introductions Hi! I have been paying my bills programming in PHP for over a decade with WP being what got me into the language originally.

I have a number of personal projects that I work on with the PHP Plates based static site generator Tapestry https://github.com/tapestry-cloud/tapestry being the one that consumes the most spare time.

I thoroughly enjoy working with, and helping others and would very much like to be more involved in the PHP community at large.

The fun side of dealing with legacy PHP codebases is finding ini_set thrown around like a condiment.

This example is made more entertaining by the fact it now actually reduces the resource available as the server is set up to provide 3GB RAM and max execution of five minutes for report generation. 🚀 #nastyphp #php

This one is actually an outlier at nearly 7,000 LOC it's one of the biggest files in the project but could easily be split into 100 or so class's as it contains all the logic for report generation and is not very DRY.

Rather than a Follow Friday I thought I would do a Nasty PHP Friday instead.

This is the median length of files in a legacy Yii1 project I am working on. One of over three hundred such files. That in itself wouldn't be a big problem if it weren't for the fact this was written in the time of PHP 5.1 with zero namespaces. The way Yii1 loads files (it does its own autoloading) means there are a number of classes with conflicting names all in the base namespace. Hurrah! 🚀 #nastyphp #php
