Jordi Boggiano has a new post today looking at his PHP console script that works in your browser that sets up easily and works from your localhost web server - php-console.Since I spend most of my days programming PHP I tend to need that a lot and a few years back I wrote a small script that would let me type php code in my browser and execute it. Nothing fancy, but quite useful. Over the years a few people got interest seeing me use it and asked for the sources, so instead of repackaging it every time,...
Yes, there's going to be unconference (uncon) sessions at ZendCon 2010 ! I was chosen to run these very interesting, educative and as-equally high-valued parallel sessions at the PHP conference in Santa-Clara, CA.For those who never heard about uncon sessions before, let me explain the situation a bit. Each conference has only so-many slots for talks and the hardest part is to choose the best talks people are willing to pay an entrance ticket for.But that doesn't mean those who've submitted one or more...
On the php|architect blog today Bill Karwin has posted his response to this interesting suggestion from Dennis Hoston about how to "reinvent" object-oriented programming in PHP.Dennis acknowledges that the name needs work. But, getting past that, his blog is about some creative experiments Dennis is working on. He has come up with a pretty innovative way of creating objects dynamically in PHP that allows for some usage that conventional PHP coding techniques don't support.He talks about some of the...

As of 22 September 2010, web2project v2.1 is officially released! You can download it from SourceForge now.
For Project Managers, there are not a huge number of tangible improvements. This was mostly a cleanup release:
The most important part is that now a User can add Tasklogs for people other than themselves. When you create or edit a Task, you can denote "Allow users to add task logs for others" which allows just that. Users can add hours for anyone currently assigned to work on the Task. The system...

It's going to be an interesting week in October, when I'm speaking at SymfonyDay right before the weekend, then doing the International PHP Conference right after. But it's going to be a PHP-filled week for starting the 9th of October. In Cologne I'll be doing a workshop on starting development with symfony, and in Mainz I'll be speaking about documentation and integrating symfony and Zend Framework.
The organizers at Symfony Day 2010 have set up a discount for you to use to register for the event - 50 tickets for 100 Euro (including VAT) - to those using the discount code "PHPDEVSFDAYCGN10".The German symfony conference will take place in October 8th, 2010 in Cologne. Registration for conference and workshop is now open. Participation is 120 Euro for the day, including food and drinks. The event will take place at Komed in Cologne.This discount will only last until Wednesday (the 29th) so if you...
Dennis Hotson has a new post to his Tumblr blog about what he calls PHP object-oriented programming reinvented - a chunk of code he's created that lets you build classes out of objects.It's tentatively called "PHP Object Oriented Programming Reinvented". Although it turns out the acronym is kind of unfortunate. I'm still working on that... The main idea is that classes aren't really very special at all, they're just objects like everything else. They don't even have names.. you give your class a name by...
Adam Pullen has posted a three-part series of articles looking at execution filters in Symfony to modify/handle the request differently than just the normal GET or POST would pass through.Symfony is a powerful PHP Framework. One of the features that I have really taken advantage in my last project is request filtering or execution filtering. Request filters allow you to inspect the request before and after the main logic is executed. Why would one want to do this? There are many reasons to implement...
So-called interactive modes for scripting languages are commonly used in the command line, and they are great for quick tests, but most of the time when I try something it tends to grow and quickly becomes painful to handle in a CLI one-liner.

In a new post to his blog today Chris Hartjes talks about the trials and tribulations he had when trying to test POST requests in his Zend Framework application with Zend_Test/PHPUnit.I had done a refactoring of the way a model was pulling in stats for running backs and receivers for a fantasy game. As a result, in production (you suck Chris) you could not see results for those players. The data was there, I had not properly tested things. A familiar situation. So, I fixed the code and wrote my...
On PHPBuilder.com today Jason Gilmore has an introductory tutorial to using the popular vim editor for your PHP development with more that just the basic features.When you choose a streamlined IDE, you forfeit the visual bells and whistles usually found in many commercial products but you gain the ability to write, organize and refactor code as quickly as you can type. For millions of developers around the globe, that IDE is Vim, and in this article I'll show you how Vim can help you to write PHP code...
As Ruslan Yakushev points out in this new blog entry, the same security issue that's effecting ASP.NET pages running on IIS web servers can still open up PHP scripts running on the same server.Microsoft has recently released a Security Advisory about a security vulnerability in ASP.NET. This vulnerability exists in all versions of ASP.NET. The PHP applications running on IIS are also subject to this vulnerability if ASP.NET is enabled in IIS.The issue allows attackers to access the contents of various...

In October I will be speaking at the PHP London user group on Thursday 7th at the Theodore Bullfrog pub in London. I'm giving a new talk called "The Source Control Landscape", looking at the products currently available in the source control arena, how the distributed systems have changed the landscape, and how we can choose between them all today. I'm really looking forward to the event, it's always a good crowd and I love to meet new people as well as meet up with existing friends - see you there :)
Was just kicking around these ideas today a bit - we'll see if anything comes of them:
Social a€˜to do' list
Rough idea: a service to allow people to agree to do things together. That could really be taken in many directions, and I'm not sure which (if any) I'd take, but I haven't seen anything quite like what's in my head yet.
Social media profile disambiguator
Perhaps there's some API service already, but I'd like to be able to look up someone by name and get a list of all their SM profiles. looking up...
Microsoft has recently released a Security Advisory about a security vulnerability in ASP.NET. This vulnerability exists in all versions of ASP.NET. The PHP applications running on IIS are also subject to this vulnerability if ASP.NET is enabled in IIS.
IMPORTANT: Even if PHP application is not using any of the ASP.NET features the vulnerability still exists as long as ASP.NET is enabled.
