I want to pull images from a certain subreddit (http:www.reddit.comrVillagePorn) and put them on a webpage. I've seen other websites do it (mainly, r ) and I can't figure out how.

British developers really do name their variables like they're ordering tea at a pub. The joke here is the delightfully British naming convention - using £name instead of the standard $name for PHP variables. Because why use dollar signs when you've got proper currency, innit? It's also accessing £_POST instead of $_POST , which is technically impossible in PHP but absolutely brilliant in spirit. The code won't run, but it'll fail with style and a stiff upper lip. Bonus points for the variable being called £name - because even your POST parameters deserve to be compensated in sterling.

Subtle genius at work here. In PHP, all variables start with a dollar sign ($), but the joke pretends it's because PHP developers are desperately chasing money rather than just following syntax rules. Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are over here using camelCase like they're riding economic humps to prosperity, and Python devs think whitespace will somehow pay their bills. The irony? PHP powers ~78% of the web, including Facebook, which literally prints money. So maybe those dollar signs were prophetic after all.
