[pmwiki-users] Slightly different local/config behavior . . .

[Ben Wilson]

PM,

I'm one of those odd hold outs. While I have been a fast adopter of
the various beta releases of v2.0, I keep the same config file. So, I
am quite surprised when I roll out a brand-spanking new version (e.g.
when I install this for a new non-profit client).

I'm seeing a lot of "noise" in the new config:

if (this = that) then require_once();

How about a custom function akin to Markup?

action_require('edit', 'script.php'):
or
conditionalRequire('$action', $val, $script);

function action_require($val, $script) {
  if ($action == $val) require_once($script);
}

In my last career (IT, I'm in law school now), I had the adage, if
it's done more than twice a certain way, then write it into a routine.
This suggestion also removes a bit more code out of the config.php.

Also, is there a reason for preferring multi-string quotes to a
HEREDOC? "I see a lot of multiple line strings like this one"
when<<<END
I personally prefer a HEREDOC like this. I'm assuming there's a
performance difference somewhere.
