Problem:

So I have this joint work where I do the frontend and another company does the backend and CRM integration of the system, I basically wrote a frontend and examples of all XMLs that backend should send to the system in order to have it working. After a week things were ready and i sent it to the backend team, and look how good they manipulate arrays:

$listai = str_replace(‘Ar’,” , $listai);
$listai = str_replace(‘Array’,” , $listai);
$listai = str_replace(‘ray’,” , $listai);

another example…

function datadma($dataz){
$dia = substr($dataz, -2);
$mess = substr($dataz, -5,2);
$ano = substr($dataz, -10,4);
return $dataz= $dia.”/”.$mess.”/”.$ano;
}

Oh man, wait, they DON’T KNOW what is an array!

How is that possible? Array is one of the first things a decent programmer is supposed to learn.

And the best, how is it possible for a company to build up a CRM system without the use of a single array? That’s like a coding challenge, specially when manipulating multiple fields and so on. And that’s not the only issue, after stating, in front of the client, that they weren’t able to work with jQuery + Ajax using XML (which they previously stated that could be worked without problems) they asked me to teach them … for free!!!!

ahahahah

Solution:

just sharing the story, there’s no solution for this :)
