This is a warning to any poor soul who may have to deal with this code.
I took over this criminal piece of chaos from a monkey named Joel who I
assume had been given a typewriter Mephistopheles himself. For reasons
I have yet been unable to fathom, he decided to patch together this thing
using a BaseX setup hardwired into an unfixably broken Manjaro queried
a handwritten plate of uncommented PHP spaghetti fit to feed an army
of people with a serious death wish, without any framework or CMS.
The very long BaseX script, very long PHP presenter and very long XSLT
stylesheet mostly perform the same heuristic document structuring for
different components and are supposed to produce compatible results, but I
bet they have mismatches somewhere.
Since Prof. just wanted a few small functional enhancements, I decided
to just patch it and keep the general setup. Unless you were hired to
correct some spelling mistakes, NOT FOLLOW IN MY STEPS. Putting up with
this simulation of how a goldfish would design a system has literally
given me CLINICAL DEPRESSION. This is not an exaggeration, I writing
this after a prolonged medical therapy mostly successful, thanks for
asking, but not fun. I wouldn't wish this code on anybody who isn't a
manager at Oracle or Facebook, and therefore give you this sincere advice:
Nuke this. Take the XSLT if you must, and then nuke the app and recreate it
in Django or whatever works for you. I would it myself, but I risked a
relapse simply opening this file again to write this comment.
Dear brother or sister, I wish you all the luck and strength in the world
and hope it will be enough.
Farewell.
