But ugly is bad in the long run. Works now, yes... but how about later,
when you want to change, add, debug, or modify the thing?

Matt Mitchell's example is way better.

"Give a man a fish, and you feedcx him for a day; teach a man how to fish,
and you feed him for life."

I heard a much much better version the other day:

"Give a man a hot meal, and you'll keep him warm for an hour. Set a man on
fire, and you'll keep him warm for the rest of his life."

Somehow it sprang to mind when I was reading this thread...

I know you got it - just thought you might find the alternative version
amusing!...

With respect then to curiosity, the teacher has usually more to learn
than to teach. Rarely can he aspire to the office of kindling or
even increasing it. His task is rather to keep alive the sacred spark
of wonder and to fan the flame that already glows. His problem is to
protect the spirit of inquiry, to keep it from becoming blasé from
overexcitement, wooden from routine, fossilized through dogmatic
instruction, or dissipated by random exercise upon trivial things.

The student has much to learn if he is not prepared to work on the problem
himself

I would imagine that someone posessed of the "scared spark of wonder" would
have been prepared to try *reading* the excellent instructions and examples
that are avaiable free on php.net, to discover the answer he needed

Does "dogmatic instruction" include just giving someone the answer, rather
than teaching him how to solve the problem class himself?

Why is it that I was able to answer his question because I learnt how PHP
handles arrays by reading the docs, and yet he is unable to read the same
docs himself, but rather prefers to let other people do the work for him?

I noticed that Message-ID:

gumshoo3@yahoo.com contained the following:

Bloody hell, I definitely don't get paid enough then...

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and
he'll spend all his money on beer and bait."
