This saddened me a bit. Watched "You Only Live Twice" and "Thunderball" this weekend in his honor. Wish I had a copy of "Robin and Marian", the chemistry he had with Audrey Hepburn was amazing. And I might be a fan indeed as I don't even hate Zardoz TOO much.

Finally, pretty good compilation of the early Bond themes: https://youtu.be/J4jdUhxOz0M

    Zardoz is fun if not taken seriously. 🙂

    "The Man Who Would Be King" is pretty darned good. He and Michael Caine make a great pair in it.

        sneakyimp you might not like what else ol' Zardoz has to say...

        You sound like my wife 😆

        Remember, at the end Connery comes to find out that part ain't true after all ... 😄

          TIL that returning false works if you declare return type int:

          function foo() : int {
        return false;
}
var_dump(foo());

          the result:

          int(0)

          but returning NULL from an int function throws an exception:

          function foo() : int {
        return null;
}
var_dump(foo());

          the result:

          PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Return value of foo() must be of the type integer, null returned in /tmp/a.php:3
Stack trace:
#0 /tmp/a.php(5): foo()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /tmp/a.php on line 3

          You'll also get that if you try to return a non-numeric string (a numeric string would be recast).

          Also, attempting to return anything other than an int fail if you declare(strict_types=1);.

          Returning null is hazardous, and equivalent to returning nothing at all (return null; is identical in meaning to return;; if a function is supposed to return a value, return; looks wrong). If for some reason you do want nulls hanging around, you can declare the possibility as function foo(): ?int.

                Today I learned PHP filters. I really enjoy the PHP language while I am learning it.

                  TIL (thanks to sneakyimp) that you can do...

                  16:16 $ /usr/bin/php -a
Interactive shell

php > $😊 = 'happy';
php > echo $😊;
happy
php >

                  you can define emoji classes and namespaces, too:

                  class 😊 {
  public static function ☚ī¸(){
    echo "🎭\n";
  }
}
😊::☚ī¸();
