Tom Schlick has a new post to his blog talking about a tool he's written for FuelPHP-based applications called Wrench. It's a command-line tool to make taking your site "offline" simpler.If you have been following what I've been up to lately you would see that many of my recent projects are based on FuelPHP. Since Fuel is so awesome and allows you to create "packages" that can be dropped into your application, I have created a few that help me quickly piece together apps. The first package I'm...
The Developer Drive blog has the latest post in their "PHP User Survey" series focusing on setting up admin functionality for the poll managers to use.In Part I of this series, we started the process of creating user polls for a business web site. Part I gave the layout of the data layer and began the construction of the class file. In this part we will continue with adding methods to the class file that will enable the administrator to set the variable values and read from the database tables.Code is...

Bradley Holt has taken these suggestions and has applied them to PHP applications in a few quick comments to each point.If you develop web apps, I encourage you to check out The Twelve-Factor App. This is an excellent resource for anyone building and deploying software-as-a-service. PHP has great support for many of the twelve-factors. I want to take a look at specifically how each factor may be...
A new post on the PHPClasses blog today suggests that good, talented web developers are actually pretty easy to find, you just have to look in the right places.Once in a while, we hear company managers and recruiters complaining about how hard is to find talented Web developers that are willing work for them. The problem is that they are not looking right. Not only there are plenty of talented Web developers out there, they are easy to find, and many of them are available for hire.The key point in his...

I guess in the Symfony2 world, we all know the following problem: We have a running Symfony2 installation we already accessed in the browser. Now we want to use the Symfony2 console to run a command and *BANG* we get an exception. The problem is, that the cache directory is not writable by the command line user. Now the usual reaction is "let's just set the access rights to 777", which solves the problem for the moment. But of course it will return, once the command line user wants to access another...

Talented Web Developers Are Easy to Hire, Employers Are Just Not Looking Right
By Manuel Lemos
Once in a while, we hear company managers and recruiters complaining about how hard is to find talented Web developers that are willing work for them.
The problem is that they are not looking right. Not only there are plenty of talented Web developers out there, they are easy to find, and many of them are available for hire.
The employers just need to make a very small concession. Doing that the developers...

Like quite a few developers, I earn income by selling my time, either packaged on a project, or by the hour. For this to work, keeping track of time is essential. Unfortuntally, like most creative people, I really enjoy hacking, but filling in timesheets just really doesnt do it for me... So read on for my solutions using gnome seed...

(deprecated) behaviours. Windows binaries can be downloaded from the

Some minutes ago vfsStream 0.11.0 was released with several bug fixes and new features. Unfortunately this introduces a BC break to the vfsStream::create() method introduced with 0.10.0. While in 0.10.0 it completely replaced the directory structure this is not the case any more. It now only adds the given structure to an existing structure, either to the directory given with the second parameter, or to the root directory without removing any other childs of the root directory. If you want to replace the...
The PHP North West conference has posted a video from this year's event - the keynote from Ian Barber of his "How to Stand on the Shoulders of Giants" session.As software engineers, we all have the potential to navigate the history of our industry, tease out the genius from what has come before, and build a platform for our own ideas. By doing so, we can see that little bit further and in turn provide the foundations for others to build on what we have done.In this session we'll look at how the history...
The MySQL administration SQL command SHOW PROCESSLIST may read "Waiting for table metadata lock" in its "State" column for a statement. The statement in question is waiting for another transaction to release a metadata lock. Its a state that may appear when using the global transaction ID injection feature ...
One of the biggest challenges I've run into in being a a€oremoteea€¯ is the daily interaction with other team members. When you are just a cube, an office, or a desk away, there's always that common water cooler or coffee pot that provides a natural place to interact with others. Or, if you have a question, you can always just stop and ask. Being able to physically get together without having to make much effort is a real bonus for people working in the same office, but can be a bit more challenging if...
Baby PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.2.0-alpha, the PHP MySQL replication and load balancing plugin for mysqlnd, has done its first steps into the direction of global transaction id injection: injection happens, IDs can be queried.

On DZone.com John Esposito reminds you about another technology Facebook has introduced to the world of PHP (besides HipHop) - XHProf, a PHP profiler.Facebook did more for PHP: they also created XHProf, a PHP profiler with a (supposedly) easy-to-use HTML interface, designed to pinpoint exactly where your bottlenecks are appearing, so that you can optimize at every stage in the pipeline. [...] If you haven't tried XHProf, you might want to look into it. Installation apparently requires a little nudging,...
