Here are some bugfixing rules and tips I've learned working all these years with PHP. I emphasize mostly on fixing bugs than preventing them, which is another subject worth of its own article. I've moved to Rails, but I wanted to finish this post as a farewell and thanks to every article and documentation that was useful to me. Hope this is useful to you too.

Topics covered include:

  • Assume nothing
  • Turn Error Reporting to show all errors
  • Read the error message
  • Understand the bug
  • "Scooby-Bug, where are you?"
  • Get as much information as possible
Each has some explanation below it and, in some places, a bit of code to clarify the point.
