Revision 3. </p> <p>Sometimes you need strings to be true identifiers, for ex. to represent symbolic names. Smalltalk offers the type 'Symbol' for this purpose. In python, you need to test this explicitly. Here is a quick way.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>As subclassing list has a problem when using __getitem__, __delitem__ and __setitem__ methods with slices (they don't get called because parent implements __getslice__, __delslice__ and __setslice__ respectively), I've coded this UserList class that is a subclass of list, but overwrites these methods. By subclassing this class, you can overwrite __getitem__ and it will be called correctly for slices.</p>

There are to many errors within code, especially for session, eregi, global variables and others. This some pieces step for compatibility porting:</p> <ol> <li><p>add global variable definiton on some function that need outside variable &lt;code&gt; function getuser(){ global $loginid,$password; } &lt;/code&gt;</p></li> <li><p>replace eregi(/find/,str) with preg_match(//,str)</p></li> <li><p>add function exists for function that not exists in php5.4.3. for example: &lt;code&gt; if(!function_exists("session_is_registered")){ function session_is_registered($var){ return isset($_SESSION[$var]); } } if(!function_exists("session_register")){ function session_register($var){ $_SESSION[$var]=$_GLOBALS[$var]; } } &lt;/code&gt;</p></li> </ol> <p>Ok there is my tips, how about you? </p>
