Zend Server, Zend Server CE and Zend Server Cluster Manager for Linux are
provided through DEB And RPM repositories. This has multiple benefits; one of
them is the ability to easily create an internal mirror of the Zend Server
repositories, using common tools available on virtually all Linux machines. The question always comes up though, a€oWhy Mirror? I'll look at that plus how to setup your mirror in this article.
When creating a web site, it is important to consider the audience.
Regardless of whether the web site is selling goods, providing a service, or
making information available, one should consider how the site will be
displayed to a visitor from another country. If visitors want to buy
something, use the service, or read the information provided, will the web
site be able to accommodate them? Should it? Localization allows the user
interface to accommodate a user's expectations for the display of dates,...
Hardware Accelerated PHP, PHP 5.3.4, PHP 5.4 hold off, mod_PageSpeed and AJAX 2 - Lately in PHP podcast episode 7
By Manuel Lemos
On this episode of Lately in PHP podcast, Manuel Lemos and Ernani Joppert discuss the proposal of using video card GPUs to accelerate PHP.
They also comment on the upcoming release of PHP 5.3.4 expected for mid-December, as well the PHP 5.4 hold off debate that has been going on due mostly to the lack of consensus between core developers.
Apart from those PHP issues, they...
Tomorrow is December, which means it's already time for PHP Advent again! Sean and I are busy curating this year's fantastic authors, and if you want to keep up, just follow @phpadvent on Twitter, subscribe to our feed, or visit the site each day.
As with years past, everyone involved is very busy. Sean and I are working on Gimme Bar and Mapalong, respectively, and our authors are just as busy. As a result, we'll probably stick to the tradition of not publishing particularly early each day, and barely...
On the Label Media blog today Tom Rawcliffe continues his series looking at design patterns (see here for his look at the Factory pattern) with this new post focusing in on the Strategy pattern.The Strategy Pattern is used to decouple an algorithm from the context in which it is used. I'm going to equate this example to a real world scenario starring a man, I'll call him Bob.In his example Bob heads to work and takes whatever way he wants to get there. His boss only cares that he makes it there, not the...
The Zend Framework team announces the immediate availability of Zend
Framework 1.11.1, our first maintenance release in the 1.11 series. This
release includes around 80 bug fixes -- many due to the highly successful
bug hunt two weeks ago.
You may download ZF 1.11.1 from the Zend Framework site .
On the OpenSky blog today there's a new post about object oriented development and class structure. More specifically about how you should use interfaces and abstract classes if you want to truly lock down the methods of your classes.Every class has an interface, every class can be typehinted as a method argument, typehint lets you specify the collaborator requirements. Not every typehint is the same.He includes an example of how, despite a "BankAccount" type hint, classes for different types of accounts...
If you're around the Manchester area (or will be in February) you should consider attending the PHP Unconference Europe 2011 happening February 19th and 20th.For the past four years, a group of enthusiasts have been organizing an unconference about PHP and related web technologies in Hamburg, Germany. What started off as a gathering of only fifty people, has grown over the course of three years into an event, which has received much following and attention within the German speaking PHP community. [...]...
New from the Ibuildings techPortal there's this article from Paul Matthews about using MongoDB in PHP applications. It's an introductory level tutorial that uses the MongoDB extension for PHP to interface with a local database.This tutorial will show you how to incorporate MongoDB into new or existing object-oriented applications, by showing how to interact and integrate with applications and how to deploy applications using MongoDB. [...] If you've implemented MongoDB into many of your systems, then...
I use the command line a lot. I'm sure many of you do, too.
I find myself often piping things between processes:
$ cat seancoates.com-access_log \
| awk {'print $1'} \
| sort \
| uniq \
| wc -l
627
$ # unique IPs
One particularly useful tool on my Mac is the pbcopy utility,
which takes standard input and puts it on the pasteboard
(this is known as the "clipboard" on some other systems). Its sister
application, pbpaste is also useful (it outputs your pasteboard to
standard output when your pasteboard...

As a reminder to all of those out there wanting to submit their presentation ideas for consideration in this year's PHP UK Conference 2011, the deadline is tonight!The main attraction of any conference is the talks that are given and we aim to attract the best PHP speakers from around the world.

After recently attending the MongoUK conference in London, it is clear that MongoDB is fast finding application amongst cutting-edge web developers. As a relatively new concept for persistence, NoSQL (Not Only SQL) and more specifically document-oriented databases, such as MongoDB, are starting to enter the web applications landscape. Its strength lies in speed and ability to cope with dynamic data, making its goals align closely with requirements of many websites around today.
This tutorial will show...
I'm very excited to hear that the PHPUnConference Europe (@phpuceu on twitter) is coming to Manchester on February 19th and 20th! So excited, in fact, that I've rushed out and bought my ticket (for a whole A£40, that's a good investment in my opinion). The event brings together the PHP community from across Europe to an unconference where the speakers are the presenters, and really anything goes!
A great feature is the contributions and interests section - if there's some content that would be...
Till Klampaeckel has put together this new post looking at the track_errors ini option (that will always put the latest error message in $phperrormsg) and how it can help you more efficiently handle the errors your application throws.track_errors provides the means to catch an error message emitted from PHP. It's something I like to use during the development of various applications, or to get a handle on legacy code. Here are a few examples why!He gives the example of a failed file_get_contents that...
Lorna Mitchell has posted three different ways you can use to get access to a namespaced class in a PHP 5.3 application, all useful depending on where you are in the application and your needs.After what felt like years of debate over the notation to use for PHP's namespaces, it seems like the feature itself has had relatively little use or attention since it was actually implemented in PHP 5.3. We're all used to working without it but using it does make code neater.Her three options are:

In a new post to his blog Keith Casey, a speaker on the CodeWorks conference tour, has recapped some of his experiences as a part of the five city tour.Approximately 10 days ago, I finished the 2010 CodeWorks Tour. This time around with 4 speakers hitting 5 cities, it was smaller, more compact, and generally a little more intimate of an experience. Due to the odd nature of this one, I'm going to skip my usual "Good, Bad, Ugly" conference review format and go straight to some highs & lows.He breaks it up...
Rob Allen has a new post today showing you how to load in your own local configuration files into a Zend_Application Zend Framework app.A friend of mine recently had a requirement where she wanted to have two config files loaded into Zend_Application, so that the specific settings for the server were not stored in the version control system. Hence she has two config files: application.ini and local.ini where local.ini is different on each server. The easiest way to approach this problem is to load the...
