Body
This is a common complaint with PHP. Here are some ideas: <ol> <li>Use a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/378959/is-there-a-static-code-analyzer-like-lint-for-php-files">code analysis tool</a>. Many IDEs such as <a href="http://netbeans.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Netbeans</a> will help also.</li> <li>Just run the code. PHP doesn't have an expensive compilation step like C++ does.</li> <li>Use unit testing. Common side effects include: better code.</li> <li>Set <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>error_reporting(-1)</code></a>, or the equivalent in your <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ini file</a>.</li> <li>Get <a href="http://xdebug.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">xdebug</a>. It's not preventative, but stack traces help with squishing bugs.</li> <li><a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>isset()</code></a>, <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>=== null</code></a> (identity operator), and guard clauses are your friends.</li> </ol> Loose and dynamic typing are a feature of the language. Just because PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">isn't strict about typing</a> doesn't mean you can't be. If it really bugs you and you have a choice, you could try Python instead—it's a bit stricter with typing.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
