Kevin Schroeder has a new post to his blog today showing how you can use the Zend_Amf component in your Flex+PHP application to authenticate users with the same authentication structure the rest of the application uses.I forget why, but a few days ago I started doing some digging around with authentication in Zend_Amf_Server. I had figured that I would add an adapter to the Zend_Amf_Server::setAuth() method and that would be it. But I was wrong.Zend_Auth is used to validate the login information that's...

A number of programming design patterns look very similar. One
of these is the Proxy pattern, which, at first glance, can
look like a number of others: Decorator,
Flyweight, even plain old object extension. However, it
has its own niche, and it can provide some incredible flexibility
for a number of programming scenarios.

Matt Knight has a recent post looking at a specific part of the Zend Framework, the Zend_Config component, and how it's overhead can be reduced (and somewhat replaced) using a few lines of PHP 5.3-specific code.One such limitation that I've recently seen is the performance of Zend_Config. This class underpins the mechanism by which developers provide configuration to the application, and all this config is passed around in the form of Zend_Config objects. [...] For the purposes of this article, I'm...
In this new post from Freek Lijten he looks at a set of git commit hooks written in PHP for making things happen before, during and post commit.Git hooks are usually found inside the .git/hooks folder of your git repository. Git tends to provide sample hook files there which are postfixed with a .sample extension. These examples are written as shell scripts. Take a look at them if you want, but today we're talking PHP!He briefly touches on the types of hooks you can set up and includes two example...
In a new blog post Matthew Weier O'Phinney has taken a look at proxy objects (the Proxy design pattern) and how it differs from some of the other popular patterns.Of the other patterns mentioned, the one closest to the Proxy is the Decorator. In the case of a Decorator, the focus is on adding functionality to an existing object -- for instance, adding methods, processing input before delegating to the target object, or filtering the return of a method from a target object.Proxies stand in for objects and...

Yesterday there was a bit of discussion after uncon superstar Keith Casey mentioned he had been accepted to speak at an event, but the event required him to pay for his ticket. The discussion focussed on this specific event, but the topic is wider of course. And there are valid reasons for doing this, but you can also make mistakes with it.

In his (Python) blog today Casey reminds the developer community about a handy tool that the developers at Facebook have made available to make a PHP coder's life easier - phpsh.The developers at Facebook have brought PHP developers a powerful REPL now ala-Python to round out a solid toolbox that PHP developers already have. The project is called phpsh and is written in Python.He includes the commands you'll need to get it pulled from github and working, providing you with an interactive shell right on...
Nils Luxton has written up a guide you can follow to get the latest (non-production) release of PHP - v5.4.0alpha1 - up and running on your machine in your WampServer instance.I wanted to do exactly that, and at work we use WampServer so we can easily switch between PHP versions (and it also makes enabling/disabling extensions and options very easy - if you develop on Windows, check it out). Assuming you have WampServer installed, it is fairly trivial to manually install new versions of the AMP...

In a new post Gonzalo Ayuso talks about some of the new features in the recently released PHP 5.4 alpha, including some code examples.We already have the php5.4 alpha ready for testing.
