No because it is intended.
Can you clarify what is intended here? Is it the illogical code structure, or the sloppy lack of variable validation?

You can write it different but it will be slower.
What will be slower?

0.36 seconds
for ($i=0; $i < 10000; $i++) {
   if (file_exists('not_a_file')) {
      $file = fopen('not_a_file', 'r+w');
   }
}

1.03 seconds
for ($i=0; $i < 10000; $i++) {
   $file = @fopen('not_a_file', 'r+w');
}

Turns out doing it the correct way (the way that doesn't produce a shit ton of warnings) is 3x faster.

I hate to break it to you, but Joomla is already extremely slow. The difference in performance of file_exists() vs @ is like a fart in a hurricane. But as it turns out, the file existence check is actually faster anyway...

And warnings and notices are not errors, nor bugs, else we would not call them "warning" and "notice"
They are errors. Else the function that triggers them wouldn't be called error_reporting(). Do you really want to play a game of semantics?

General Questions VM 2 / Re: virtuemart for joomla 3+ ?
« Last post by Milbo on Yesterday at 17:56:24 »
No, just wait until Monday or so and install the vm2.9, you could use vm2.1 to get an impression. First we release the vm2.5.2 as vm2.6 and then we concentrate on vm3 again.

No, because no one else has this error. That means your setup is creating the problem.

Argumentum ad populum

10,000 wrong people are still wrong.

Here are the facts:

1. The code is not correctly structured; lock() is being called before store() (illogical programming)
2. lock() is not testing to see if the file it's supposed to be locking even exists (sloppy programming)
3. An error is being thrown by PHP, but is being suppressed by the @ operator (lazy programming)
4. My machine has brought this bug to my attention. (strict code checking - sees all problems)
5. Your environment(s) are not alerting you to the bug. (loose code checking - sees only some problems)
6. Therefore my setup is correct, yours is not.

http://www.leftjoin.net/2011/03/disabling-suppress-error-operator/

In your php.ini file, you should have the following line:

Code: [Select]
xdebug.scream = 1;
That will disable the @ operator and alert you to ALL issues.

and again no, because the purpose of the @ IS to suppress a warning. It is a quite academic discussion what is faster,... the @, which makes anything 10 times slower, or to test first if there is a file and then to lock if in case there is almost always a file, because it is cache. Theoretically the right thing is often pragmatically NOT the right thing. So you are the guy who uses a wrong setup. http://de3.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

The world is a lot more complex than you think.

Virtuemart 2 Development and bug reports / Re: account activation link problem
« Last post by Milbo on Yesterday at 14:32:15 »
Please test this one http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/689/com_virtuemart.2.5.2_extract_first.zip

It was planned as 2.0.28, so you can install it over your version, should be completly backward compatible. It has also a captcha now, maybe the avoids the problem anyway. It has some more enhancements for being logged in directly after registration. Please test it.
