    You can. But that doesn't mean you want.

    Reason one: you want to model them differently

    In objects you want to model something the best possible way. That means one thing are Students and other Addresses. In a future you could have more Address per student, or none, so migration to that model will be easier if you have two differents objects.

    Think of it as high cohesion and low coupling (good design patterns). Each class has its meaning, its responsability, its limited range of action. The more isolated classes are, the more punctual changes will be. The more modular your code will be too.

    By contrast, in tables you make concessions in order to gain performance and more direct queries. That means you can denormalize your model (like joining students and addresses).

    Reason two: legacy models

    By example. If you have a legacy single table and want to use two objects, you need this mapping. Or... if your application is already made, based on two objects, but your database is reengineered and you decide one table is better.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
