He covers using Solarium to do multi-select faceting in a Solr query.Solarium is a library I often use at Enrise for querying Solr. For one of the projects I work on, AutoTrack.nl a second hand car site, I was having issues on advanced faceting with Solr which I could easily solve using Solarium. [...] Faceting is a...
On the Symfony blog there's a quick post noting that the videos for this year's Symfony Live London (2012) event have been posted on their YouTube channel.Last month, we were pleased to publish all the videos from this year's edition of Symfony Live conferences in Paris and in San Francisco. During the first week following their publication, more than 10,000 views were recorded, that's amazing! And today, we've just added 5 more hours of talks.There's seven videos in the playlist including talks from...
On NetTuts.com there's a recent post that tries to explain the "whens" and "whys" of design patterns - when using them is a good idea and why you might want to implement them as a part of your application.There are plenty of articles that explain what design patterns are, and how to implement them; the web doesn't need yet another one of those articles! Instead, in this article, we will more discuss the when and why, rather than the which and how. I'll present different situations and use-cases for...

More and more people rely on the Internet rather than broadcast television for coverage of events like the election, but it still feels like we're in an awkward transition period. Here are the links for live election coverage that I've managed to find.

It's a bit ugly, but I love this bold summary. Would make a great backdrop for a party.

A much prettier summary. Would also make a good backdrop.

Adam Culp has posted a three part series to his blog with some guidance about how to create "clean code" in your application development:Whether we're experienced developers or newcomers, we've all seen code that could/should have been done better. Many times it's even code we ourselves wrote and revisited later for one reason or another. I, for one, have seen my share of code written by a "past me" and wondered what on earth I was thinking when I wrote that. Of course there has also been times when I...
If you're considering using Zend Server in your development, you might find this new post from Matthew Weier O'Phinney interesting. It talks about a handy feature of the tool and how it can help with the performance of a Zend Framework 2-based application.
Zend Server has a very cool Page Caching feature. Basically, you can provide URLs or URL regular expressions, and tell Zend Server to provide full-page caching of those pages. This can provide a tremendous performance boost, without needing to change...

Zend Server has a very cool Page Caching feature. Basically, you can provide URLs
or URL regular expressions, and tell Zend Server to provide
full-page caching of those pages. This can provide a tremendous
performance boost, without needing to change anything in your
application structure; simply enable it for a set of pages, and sit
back and relax.
However, this feature is not entirely straight-forward when
using a framework that provides its own routing, such as ZF2. The
reason is because it assumes...
Carl Vuorinen has a recent post to his site showing you how to unit test your Zend Framework (v1) controllers with the help of database fixtures to provide the test with valid data.So I started thinking that there must be a way to use fixtures for the database the same way as when testing models with PHPUnit Database extension (PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_TestCase). But since PHP does not have multiple inheritance, we can't extend both Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase and...
On the Fortrabbit blog there's a screencast posted showing you how to use Composer using its "create-project" functionality.Learn here about one way (out of many) to install the famous Symfony2 (a popular PHP framework to build web projects. Also the base for some CMS systems, like the new Drupal8) on the fabulous fortrabbit PHP hosting platform. See the ultra cool text editor Sublime Text 2, the fortrabbit web GUI, gorgeous Git version and PHP Composer in action.The tutorial also shows you how to...
In his latest post Wojciech Sznapka wonders if Symfony2 is actually MVC or if it's just the "C" and "V" in the equation with the "M" (Model) layer being left wide open.The question is: where is Model layer in Symfony2? My answer is: there's ain't one and it's good.. Symfony2 isn't hardly bounded with Model layer, as it could have been seen in first version. We can see many Active Record model implementations in modern web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django and symfony 1. I'm not saying those...
On the QaFoo site they've shared a tool they use for doing code reviews in a new post to their blog. The tool, just called review, lets you run several different metrics on the code including the PHP "mess detector", PDepend and PHPCPD (copy & paste detector).We, at Qafoo, do Code Reviews quite often together with our customers. This often focusses on dicussing metrics, browsing the associated code and discussing solutions for the issues found. We started using a bunch of shell scripts for that, like...
