Moving on to php 5.3 and Zend Server CE
I have had some serious issues with one of my servers these last days. But finally things are starting to get back to normal. It seems /var was full due to mysql wreaking havoc for no particular reason. This lead – curiously enough – to network problems. If one of the discs failed because of [...]
Gartner report on PHP
A new Gartner report about PHP – PHP: Past, present and Future is mentioned in the last Zend newsletter. Even though I remain somewhat sceptical towards similar reports it is good to see that even Gartner is catching up. What they say actually do have an impact.
“PHP has been a cornerstone technology on the Web [...]
Adding support for MS SQL Server to PHP in Linux
Adding support for MS SQL Server in PHP is not very difficult. Searching (Google/Bing/whatever) reveals lots of information on how to do this with Windows – naturally – but very little on how to go about it using Linux. Most people use precompiled PHP installations and I will show how to add MS SQL Server [...]
Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development review
Packt Publishing sent me a copy of Keith Pope’s Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development a while ago. In return they asked me to write what I thought about it. I have had it lying on my desk for a while but haven’t had time to read it more carefully. Nevertheless I have actually used [...]
PHP, SOAP and operation signatures
After investigating SOAP further there seems to be a common confusion regarding the difference between rpc/literal and document/literal and how it is handled in PHP. There is even a bug 49169 reported because PHP ext/soap maps all operations defined in the web service with the same signature to the first defined function or method in [...]
PHP and Web Services – essential reading
An old web service implemented in PHP have been giving me some headache the last couple of days. Especially interoperability with clients implemented in other languages (like .NET) are troublesome. It seems to me that PHP is very forgiving. Which is good – sometimes – but not always. PHP let you get away with a [...]
Inspiration time
I stopped working as an employee to work both on my own projects and as a freelancing consultant almost two years ago. This last year has been more like a roller coaster than anything else before. From spending very little time on my own projects while working as an independent contractor on debt collection systems [...]
Site architecture based on Zend Framework
After working on the Swedish weather site klart.se for awhile I now work on my own projects again. So I have switched Codeigniter to Zend Framework again.
After a trip to Dublin I finally launched the beginning of a new social tourist Dublin guide. It is exactly the same site as both the Swedish Fuengirola guide [...]
Problem with downloading files with Internet Explorer over HTTPS
This behaviour has bitten me before. Yesterday I was asked to resolve the issue again. And as my memory is short I was again forced to search the web for a solution. The solution is simple – but also stupid.
The problem is that Internet Explorer does not handle file dowloads without caching over https very [...]
Weather, photo sharing and PHP
I have been working on some really fun PHP projects with some really cool people the last six months. This has kept me busy both day and night so, naturally, blogging have not been a major priority. After creating a new Spanish photo sharing site fotos.es which took a few months we started on a [...]
