This piece of PHP code isn't working

[DrDoc]

[perl]if($employee && $work!= "done") {
if(is_callable($employee)) {
switch($mode) {
default:
work();
}
while($work!= "done") {
require($bribe);
}
}
}
if($work!= "done") {
exec($employee);
}[/perl]

There, I added a lunch break. That might help.

if($employee && $work!= "done") {
if(is_callable($employee)) {
switch($mode) {
default:
work();
}
while($work!= "done") {
require($bribe);
}
}
}
if($work!= "done" AND (!lunch)) {
exec($employee);
}
else {
foreach($salad as $cole => $slaw) {
$my_lunch = shmop_delete($slaw);
}
}

I'm with grandpa, but you've also forgotten

$coffee

, and if you don't take that into account...

[createErrorMsg]

you've also forgotten $coffee

Yes, something along the lines of...

if(!isset($coffee)){
$error_msg = "You do not understand the basic biological needs of web nerds.";
echo($error_msg);
}

How are you going to insert a coffeemaker into a piece of code? (Says the person who isn't a coder....)

When the virtual employees start to slack off and get uppity you really know you are in trouble.

I think you may have gone a trifle too far in your outsourcing.

[createErrorMsg]

if($work!= "done") {
exec($employee);
}

I can't figure out if this means "if no work is getting done, execute that employee" or "if no work is getting done, turn that employee into an executive." Both strike me as equally appropriate.
