Ruby on rails

[Poppins]

So many threads about ruby but not many about rails? I've been learning it since about 10 this morning (its 9pm) and I already love it =]

As apposed to PHP.

Code:

posts = Posts.where(:name => 'Hi')

posts.each do |post|
  puts post.name
end

That would probably take 4x as many lines to write in PHP.

4x? Lets see.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE name='hi'"))) { echo $row['name'] . "\n"; }

How about .25x

Suck it

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE name='hi'"))) { echo $row['post'] . "\n"; }

Honestly, your reply made me laugh. If I could rep you I would.

PHP and RoR shouldn't be compared.
RoR and SQL just don't work together. PHP is much more useful imo, very efficient.

Nah you need 100 posts.


I have never heard of This language untill now.
Seems strange.

Was about to reply and speak about the fact that you just put it all on one line =s. But its orgy ;)

@solidius -
May you explain why? I've worked with PHP a long time and its no secret its terrible at SQL.

oh and orgy you are echoing the post. The ruby script echos the post.name =]

Whoops, fixed and edited my post.

Whoops, fixed and edited my post.

You can still see what I mean =] The syntax is a lot cleaner than PHPs
