Of course, the OP can do what (s)he wants at home, but once the
code ends up in public, as above, such a hint as Eli's is invaluable.

If you want to see what happens otherwise, have a look at PHP.

The language itself has evolved a lot since its beginnings (to
the better, IMO). But you still see extremely bad habits "out
there" which wouldn't be necessary these days -- because, well,
they are "out there" (for example: assebling SQL queries with
sprintf [1]). They take a life of their own :-)
