A new NetBeans PHP Community Council offers a chance to contribute
to NetBeans. A guest post by Timur Poperecinii on the NetBeans blog
explains the council.
New on PHPMaster.com today there's a tutorial showing you how to access the Windows registry with PHP with the help of the win32std extension.The Windows Registry is simply a hierarchically structured database in which the Windows operating system and other applications store important configuration information. All sorts of data is stored in the registry: user profiles, file-type associations, hardware information, serial numbers, and more. With functions available from the win32std extension, your...
I just fixed an odd bug on the WonderProxy admin pages. Occasionally there would be an issue where the administrative dashboard would refuse to load. It would display an all too common message that the database was out of connections. This was quite odd as there's generally almost no users on our site, so there's no reason for MySQL to run out of connections. I had much larger issues to work on, and the issue was almost always temporary, so I didn't really worry about it.
Last night while improving our...
A Kickstarter project has been started up by Alan Forbes to author a book (and full training course) to "bring the joy back" into learning PHP - The Joy of PHP Programming (e-book and course).PHP is a great programming language. It's free, powerful, relatively easy to setup and learn, and it has extensions and frameworks available to do almost anything you could imagine. Frankly, it's just plain fun too. But if you've never programmed before or have programmed before but not with PHP and want to learn...
Troy Hunt has posted ten reminders for "uncultured web developers" out there to think about when they're developing applications for a world-wide audience.What a lot of this boils down to is culture, or more specifically, lack of cultural awareness. I'm talking about making assumptions based on what a developer may personally hold to be true but in the broader global context is incorrect and often marginalises their audience. In the pursuit of a more globally harmonious online experience, let's take a...
In his most recent post Gonzalo Ayuso shows you how to merge Zend Framework 2 and Symfony2 components into the same project using Composer.Zend Framework 2 is finally stable. I must admit that I'm not a big fan of ZF (or even Symfony2) as a full stack framework. I normally prefer to use micro frameworks, but those two frameworks (ZF2 and SF2) are great as component libraries. Today we are going to build a simple console application (using symfony/console component) to list the database tables (using...
John Wards passed along some information about an upcoming one-day conference happening in Oxford (UK) during the end of November (the 23rd), a conference aimed at developers but talking mostly about database both server and client-side - the All Your Base Conference.The All Your Base Conference is a database conference for web developers. It's a one day affordable, single track conference exploring noSQL, RDMS and client-side database solutions. There will be a keynote from the creator of MySQL Monty...
On php7.com today they've posted the latest in their series of PHP community interviews - this time it's a chat with Ian Barber, a developer advocate for Google+.In this edition I talked with Ian Barber @ianbarber who is a developer advocate for Google+. Ian has been working with PHP for Virgin in the UK and has an amazing run of experience in the PHP world; delivering presentations at a number of conferences - his recent talk entails "Building a Firehose" at [PHP Tek 12 @mtacon].In the interview Ian...
In response to a recent post from Fabien Potencier with some reasons to use the Symfony2 framework, Evan Coury has posted some of his thoughts on why to use the Zend Framework (now in v2 stable).Fabien Potencier just wrote an interesting post where he outlines what he believes to be the selling points of the Symfony project. First, let me point out that all of his points are 100% valid, and there's no doubt that Symfony is a great framework. I have great respect for Fabien and the Symfony project as a...
In this new post to his blog Fabien Potencier offers some of his own supporting reasons for choosing the Symfony framework over some of the other options out there, providing some of the "main selling points" it offers.I like to think that most popular frameworks are modular enough, fast enough, well-documented enough; they are using well-known design patterns. So, besides the buzzwords, what is unique to Symfony? Why would you want to use Symfony instead of Z? That's the question I'm going to answer in...

Yesterday, Zend Framework 2.0 and Symfony 2.1 were released... almost at the
same time. First, I want to congratulate the Zend Framework team for this huge
milestone; I know that working on a new major version is no small task.
And of course, people started to ask questions about these new versions and
one of the most popular was: "Why would I choose framework X over framework
Y?". As you can imagine, the answer is not that easy as each framework has its
own specificities.
I like to think that most...

In 2005 we announced the Zend Framework project. A great framework was the missing link in moving PHP from departmental to strategic Enterprise adoption. We had already delivered on the other necessary Enterprise requirements incl. broad database support, strong OO, XML and Web Services in PHP 5 and standard tooling via the Eclipse eco-system. By delivering best-in-class best practices through a powerful application framework we knew we'd enable companies to scale-out their PHP development practices and...
On PHPBuilder.com today there's a new tutorial showing you a way to work with hierarchical data in MySQL from your PHP application in two different ways (methods).The hierarchical data structure is one of the most common data structures in programming. It represents a set of data where each item (except the root) has one parent node and one or more children nodes. Web programmers use hierarchical data for a number of applications, including content management systems, forum threads, mailing lists, and...
So you've been working on your own code for a while now but have been hearing about Github and how it makes it simple to contribute to other projects too. Maybe you haven't found the time to get into git and Github yet. Well, this new post (a reprinted article from php|architect) to Lorna Mitchell's blog will tell you all you need to know.Often I find absolutely competent programmers, who aren't involved in open source, either because they don't know how to approach a project, or because they just aren't...
My opinions are personal and do not reflect the opinions of any organization that I'm affiliated with.
What happens when you post an announcement in the open source world? People get excited, they repost and they talk about it. What will these people do should multiple announcements hit the open source world?
In my long experience running community projects, multiple news on the same topic dilute the reach of each and may cause confusion. When a news is immediately followed by another from a...
The Zend Framework is proud to announce the first stable release of the long awaited Zend Framework v2 codebase!The Zend Framework community is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Zend Framework 2.0.0 STABLE!

Since then, we've incrementally added features, building on the solid base we'd created.[...] It's not perfect. No software project is. But I think it's qualitatively...

That was one of the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Ernani Joppert in the episode 27 of the Lately in PHP podcast.
