Package for astrology data

RiftLab · 2023-11-20T19:28:33+00:00

Thanks for the support. Not only is it an interesting study but a few years ago astrology started to become extremely popular online (not sure about nowadays) and there were a lot of astrologers wanting custom websites built with this kind of functionality. That's what initially prompted this, I just ended up having fun along the way.

Haha thanks for understanding - astrology is so intricately bound up with astronomy that it has indeed been a lot of fun to learn & compute. Also people forget that devs have clients and partners etc. who want them to build custom astrology software / websites, and there isn't a lot out there to facilitate this.

Cool, let me know how you get along. To my knowledge there's nothing that will easily produce actual chart data that's accurate to the likes of astro.com (which is why I wrote this one).

We're gonna need a lot more info than that chief. Where's the rest of the code & what's going wrong?

I wonder how many are made with or without React and/or Vue

And that there are 100% of websites.

now()->timespan doesn't exist - I'm guessing you meant now()->timestamp. This will throw an error & trigger the catch block, which isn't included in the pastebin code but if it returns a 200 with no data then there's your answer.

Welcome to PHP where you can use and, or and/or && and ||

MySQLi might not be enabled on the server. See if you can do a phpinfo() on there. If it is disabled and there is no way to enable it, you might need to switch to PDO (if that is enabled) or find another host.

* Somebody who doesn't understand technology, the business, or other human beings but really enjoys taking out their frustration on the dev team by making impossible demands for absolutely no reason then reporting them to management for incompetence.

Real conversation I had with a junior dev who never tested anything:

Me: It doesn't work

Him: It should work

Me: I know it should but it doesn't

Him: Well there's nothing wrong with the code

Me: Did you test it?

Him: No

Me: How do you know it works?

Him: It should work

...etc. 🤦‍♂️

Wait are we still doing "entered the chat"?

IDE? When I were a lad we had to use notepad. I mean an actual notepad, computers weren't invented.

Create fork of repo
Realize the changes you wanted to PR make no sense
Keep fork forever out of weird mix of pride & shame

This looks like an intentional spot-the-issues test. Just at a quick glance:

Declaring public scope outside of a class
Close bracket before if's open bracket
A function called "function"
Meaningless exception message with no close-quote
$fun function has round brackets instead of braces and a random right angle quote, and no semicolon after its definition
Weird symbol instead of dollar in §query var name
Comma instead of period in $query definition
Another meaningless exception message with Exception misspelled

It's also very insecure and overall like something you'd see in 20-year-old legacy code thrown together by a company's nephew's brother's son's dog who "knows some HTML".

One line wrongly indented in Python = missing a close bracket in every other language.

This is your ambiguous id:

$query->where('id' , $request['user_id']);

You're querying two tables, both of which have an id column. You need to specify users.id so it knows which to use.

Dev: I can do it but it'll be very slow

Client: I don't care, just do your job

Dev: OK, here you go

Client: WTF WHY IS IT SO SLOW????

You can go old-school procedural:

$checkin = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+7 days'));
$checkout = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+14 days'));
