Why do we have to bother about built-in GTID support in MySQL 5.6 at all? Sure, it is a tremendous step forward for a lazy primary copy system like MySQL Replication. Period. GTIDs make server-side failover easier (slides). And, load balancer, including PECL/mysqlnd_ms as an example of a driver integrated load balancer, can use them to provide session consistency. Please, see the slides. Buta€¦

On DZone.com there's a new post from Giorgio Sironi about using Composer to install packages/libraries:The main package source used by Composer seems more similar to the usage of git submodules at a first glance: a list of dependencies on other projects is specified and stored under version control, and upon a checkout these projects are grabbed directly from their repositories.He talks about what problem the project solves, what issues he's found with it so far (the amount of stuff downloaded for each...

Introduction
Lately we had several projects where we had to store in a database very different items that shared a common state.
As an example take the RocketLab website you are reading: Events and BlogPosts are aggregated in the LabLog list as if they were similar items. And indeed they all have a Title, a Date and a Description.
But if you get the detail page of an Event or a BlogPost you can see that they actually don't contain the same information: a BlogPost contains essentially formatted text when...

Joshua Thijssen has a new series of posts to his blog about a new extension he's created for PHP that lets you stream music files to an IceCast server with only PHP.To continue our journey in pointless, but nevertheless fun things to create, I've created a simple PHP extension that allows you stream music data to an IceCast server in pure PHP. For this I'm using the libshout3 library which can stream both MP3 or OGG/Vorbis data to multiple stream servers (including IceCast, ShoutCast etc). In this...

The podcast's page features links for some of the topics discussed.

Emran Hasan has posted an introduction to using the Mockery mocking tool with PHPUnit for a more powerful, easier to use object mocking system.A few days ago I was explaining mocking to a few colleagues. I came up with the following quick n dirty code to show them the elegance of Mockery as a mocking framework. The code is straight-forward: it checks the health of a server using a tiny heart beat script.He provides both sides of the code - a simple "heartbeat" script that just responds with a JSON...
