CakePHP: Check your trailing whitespace

I was having this really weird problem where the current user was being logged out when I accessed any actions from one controller. After some delving it turned out that an internal cake session variable (called Config) didn’t exist for some reason.

A bit of Google turned me to this page, so it was just trailing whitespace.

Which is just annoying when you’ve spent 30 mins debugging a bug that seemed to suddenly appear with no code changes. Now that’s scary because you’ve no idea where to start. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to have the webserver strip trailing whitespace so this sort of thing doesn’t happen. Unless, of course, you write your web applications in Whitespace


New look!

I could write about it, but it’d be fairly boring affair about something which you can find out for yourselves.

The only slightly interesting part is the header - it’s got all of my display pictures to date and it updates!
