Bugs

One of the most frustrating things when programming in any language, is bugs. Not bugs caused by your own coding (although they can be annoying) but bugs caused by the language itself not working properly.

For example, in trying to reference an overloaded array in PHP 5.2.x the following error was raised: ‘Notice: Indirect modification of overloaded property’. I spent at least two hours trying to find out where I was going wrong, and then found this on the web.

The fact that the problem can be fixed only makes me feel slightly better, having wasted so much time!
