On the ServerGrove blog today there's a new post showing how you can set up Dreamweaver to be able to edit Twig templates directly, complete with syntax highlighting.If you are a designer working with Symfony developers you will soon encounter Twig. Twig is a template engine for PHP that has been adopted by Symfony 2, and from a designers perspective, it's a major improvement over the way things are done in Symfony! For designers who have used templating systems like Smarty before, Twig is going to be a...
Chris Jones has posted more information to his Oracle blog about the caching and other improvements that come along with the Oracle 11gR2 release that can be used in PHP applications.Oracle 11.2 brought several improvements to Client Result Caching. CRC is way for the results of queries to be cached in the database client process for reuse. [...] PHP OCI8 as a "client" of the database can use CRC. The cache is per-process, so plan carefully before caching large data sets. Tables that are candidates for...
Dan Scott has posted an example of how to create a MARC record (machine-readable cataloging, more details here) from scratch with the help of the File_MARC PEAR package.In the past couple of days, two people have written me email essentially saying: "Dan, this File_MARC library sounds great - but I can't figure out how to create a record from scratch with it! Can you please help me? Yes, when you're dealing with MARC, you'll quickly get all weepy and get help from anyone you can.His example code is...
I am the first one to admit that I am not a UI/UX/design person. I believe wholeheartedly that the inmates are running the asylum when they shouldn't be.
The project page at http://auraphp.github.com/ has substance, but no style, and style is so important. Can anyone recommend a good design guy who is interested in [...]
ZF2 development is ramping up. We've been at it for some time now, but mostly
taking care of infrastructure: converting to namespaces, re-working our
exception strategy, improving our test suites, and improving our autoloading and
plugin loading strategies to be more performant and flexible. Today, we're
actively working on the MVC milestone, which we expect to be one of the last
major pieces necessary for developers to start developing on top of ZF2.
A question I receive often is: "How can I...

Event-driven programming is a paradigm that is especially familiar for GUI and JavaScript programmers. For example, it is the style used in Node.js. In the traditional PHP space it hasn't been utilized that much, but here is an example how to do it with GObject signals as provided by Midgard2.
Connection events
First of all we prepare a Midgard connection:
// Open Midgard connection
$config = new midgard_config();
$config-read_file_at_path(ini_get('midgard.configuration_file'));
If we want to, we can...

Alexey Zakhlestin has a new post today with some of his own thoughts on the suggestion for a built-in web server (RFC) that's been floating around lately - a tool that would act as a simple server right out of the box without much in the way of configuration.There are a lot of talks today about "Built-in web server" [for PHP] RFC by Moriyoshi Koizumi. There is a nice discussion on Hacker News (and 2 threads on reddit: here and here). So, here's couple of cents from me.Alexey agrees with the suggestion...
Kevin Schroeder has some of his own thoughts on the recent results of the TIOBE index ranking the popularity of programming languages. PHP has slopped down two spots, replaced by Python and C++. He looks at the data TIOBE has to back it up and can't seem to find a reason why.I decided to take a look and see what was going on behind the scenes by reading on the index definition to see if I could understand what happened. After reading through the definition I still don't know what happened, or even why it...
In a new post to his blog today Paul Jones talks about the next version of the Solar Framework, aka Aura, and some of the changes that have led to it.Just like with a mature person, there is a great deal of knowledge and craft embedded in Solar, but it also still shows its roots and carries the weight of decisions from early in its life. With all that in mind, it's time to start working on Solar version two, using the formal namespaces and other features of PHP 5.3. There are some other very significant...
php|architect Magazine has officially announced the introduction of a new publishing format for their magazine. Readers are no longer tied to just PDF versions - they can now opt for ePUB editions of the magazine starting with this month's issue (and retroactively!).Still, even though PDF was a less popular format in 2002 than it has become today, it was a much easier choice for us when the only way to read an electronic publication was to sit in front of a computer. The advent of portable e-book readers...

You may have noticed that quite a lot is happening in the Midgard land. Nowadays Midgard2 itself is a generic content repository that can be used for both desktop and web applications. Midgard MVC is a generic web framework for PHP5 that can be used with Midgard2 or without it. And then there is Midgard Create, the new content management user interface that follows the ideas of decoupled content management.
With Midgard Create, a website just needs to publish its contents with RDFa annotations, and we...
There are a lot of talks today about a€oBuilt-in web servera€¯ [for PHP] RFC by Moriyoshi Koizumi. There is a nice discussion on Hacker News (and 2 threads on reddit: here and here). So, here's couple of cents from me.
1. That is a great addition to the standard PHP tool-set. I remember days, when I had to configure web-servers to run my web-projects and it was ridiculously distracting. It's not a€orocket sciencea€¯, but still complicates matters a lot. Finally, developers would be able to forget about...
