Jens Schauder has an interesting suggestion about the development environment for your projects - one database per developer.How many databases run in your teams development environment? One for the complete team? I have seen many places like that, but please tell me: Why? You aren't working on a shared files system aren't you? How is a developer supposed to change the structure of that database without interrupting the work of the other developers? And just in case you haven't noticed: Pretty much every...
Matt Williams has a new post to his blog with his own fix to a problem he was having with his CodeIgniter application - the continuous session logouts.For weeks I tolerated the annoyance of CodeIgniter's Session library logging my out continuously, saying to myself "I works...kind of...I'll fix it later". Eventually the problem started affecting AJAX method calls, large file uploads and simple CRUD operation forms so I began trawling the internet for a fix. After hours and hours, I found that there was...
On the Drupal4Hu.com site there's a recent post with a complaint about the OOP functionality in PHP and how Drupal developers should deal with its limitations.While I was always complaining of PHP's inability of adding a method run-time, the problem we face is that you can't replace one either. So if you do what I did in the previous post, namely use the hook-alter patten (already an addition to PHP, I must say) to override the classname, that works. However, if two modules try to do this for two...

On the SitePoint PHP blog today they pose a question to all PHP developers out there - is your application affected by the Y2K38 bug?I don't want to be too alarmist, but try running the [given] PHP code on your system. [...] With luck, you'll see "Wednesday 1 February 2040 00:00" displayed in your browser. If you're seeing a date in the late 60's or early 70's, your PHP application may be at risk from the Y2K38 bug!The bug, caused by a 32-bit operating system, can be helped by running the application on...
Rob Allen has a new post to his blog today about a handy helper that comes with the Zend Framework to help you store messages between requests.I've talked about Zend Framework's action helpers before, but haven't covered any of the action helpers that are supplied with Zend Framework. FlashMessenger is a helper that allows you to store messages between requests. The most common use I have for it is for a "saved" message after doing an edit of an item that then redirects back to a list.He includes an...

What's the Y2K38 bug?

A few years ago I switched to an old fashion safety razor and haven't looked back. The latest entry into the razor market has reaffirmed my decision as the right one.
The new Pro Glide from Gillette only costs less than $10 to purchase. Good deal, right? Nope. The replacement blades cost $3-$4 each! Assuming you get a few weeks out of each blade, you're looking at paying between $6 and $10 every month to use this razor blade.It's a great deal-for Gillette.I use Merkur razor. I paid a lot, comparatively...
jQuery is a popular JavaScript library which is used by many developers and applications. While using jQuery you need to write less code, writing functions is less complex and there are a lot of plugins you can use for free in your web application. Even if you code everything by yourself, you need only a few rows of code to create nice and powerful features for your website. If you're in hurry check the jQuery demo page.
Populate select menus with jQuery and Ajax
One of the most powerful jQuery function...
Cal Evans has posted a sort of lighthearted beginners guide to some of the terms that those outside the software development industry might not know - five terms with their explanations.When I venture out into the real world, the one not populated with developers, I get a lot of strange looks and odd stares when I talk. Apparently there are a lot of people out there who don't grok grep, have never been slashdotted, and can't tell a brown number from a WAG. [...] Today I am going to share five of our more...

We are actively recruiting participants to take place in a developer event (a€oDev Derbya€ť) that pits one language against others. It is a day-long programming challenge where teams of developers work to create an application serving a real-world need. Five teams will represent different programming languages-PHP, C#, Ruby, ColdFusion, and Java-to produce a demo application that will be released as open source software.
In case you ever heard me talking about PHP internals I certainly mentioned something along the lines of "Everything in PHP is a HashTable" that's not true, but next to a zval the HashTable is one of the most important structures in PHP. While preparing my "PHP Under The Hood" talk for the Dutch PHP Conference there was a question on IRC about extension_loaded() being faster than function_exists(), which might be strange as both of them are simple hash lookups and a hash lookup is said to be O(1). I...
Slowly the power of mysqlnd plugins becomes visible. Mysqlnd plugins challenge MySQL Proxy and are often a noteworthy, if not superior, alternative alternative to MySQL Proxy for PHP users. Plugins can do almost anything MySQL Proxy can do - but on the client. Please find details in the slides. The presentation has been given today at the PHP track at FrOSCon.

This weekend I'm at froscon in Germany, giving two talks. One had no slides (but may have video, if I see it then I will post the link here) and the other was "Working with Web Services" which I gave this morning in the PHP room. My slides are here:

Thanks to the PHP room organisers for accepting me as a speaker and to Sebastian for twisting my arm in the first place - it's a fun event!
I uploaded my slides about the Apache Zeta Document component to Slideshare. The talk was held yesterday in the PHP room at FrOSCon.
