Similarly, failing to catch your exceptions and check your method return variables can also bonk you on the head. Usually the day before release. Friday at 4:45 PM. On the night your friends celebrate your birthday. Without you.
We will ignore try-catch for now since most of our development is in PHP and its API is almost completely procedural. Being a procedural language, pretty much every function has a return value. Some of these are important and some can be occasionally ignored. Which are which?
