Zend Framework – file input labels are not translated
I hade some time over and updated one of my own projects to Zend Framework 1.8.1. Apart from a change in the auto loader API everything went smooth. But I was a bit annoyed to find out that a simple translation bug still was unfixed. As my project is going live soon I need that [...]
Ye olde English is dead
There are probably as many solutions to creating SEO friendly urls as there are actual implementations. After real work yesterday I started looking at the rather simple method based on the PHP built in strtr() we use. It’s very simple and apart from some uppercase, lowercase and utf8 juggling the (very shortened) basis is something [...]
I have moved
I have been away from blogging awhile. Life has been really busy lately and I have sold my house and moved, with my family, to Fuengirola in Spain. Hopefully now that daily life is again back to normal I’ll blog a bit more. Maybe I’ll talk a bit more about daemons, asynchronous I/O and CodeIgniter [...]
Statistics
Last week we launched a new beta of our Swedish TV guide. It used to be based on Zend Framework 1.0 and has now been completely rewritten and upgraded to version 1.6.2. We didn’t seem to have any difficulties moving from 1.5 to 1.6 during development.
The framework is getting better and better even though I [...]
SOAP structures in PHP
Handling SOAP structures in PHP can sometimes be really annoying. If an interface is defined in the WSDL as returning an array I can’t be sure that I will get an array. If there is only one element in the array PHP tries to be clever and turn the wanted array into an object which, [...]
Finally namespaces
There’s a lot of whining whining about the new namespace separator these days. Not only on blogs. At first I was a bit negative towards the choice but is more and more convinced it is a good one.
First of all, few of the people complaining seem to have read the RFC documents explaining in detail [...]
Two weeks with Zend Studio for Eclipse
After more than ten years with Emacs and terminal flipping as my primary development environment, whether for C, PHP, WSDL, HTML/CSS or javascript, I decided to try (I mean really really try) an IDE for a while. As PHP is my main focus these days I have been looking towards Zend Studio for Eclipse. I [...]
Slowly coming back to life
Well, I have been gone from blogging for quite a while now. Much have happened since the last post. Most notably is that I quit my job to focus on my web development company Mesh. This resulted in a huge increase in the workload for a while. Things are settling and work is now more [...]
Setting up a development environment with apache-2.2.6
I recently bought a new laptop as my new development box. A nice 17″ screen with 1920*1200. So now I was to setup a PHP development environment for all the projects I’m working on. I downloaded Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45. I compiled and installed them and finally added a few virtual hosts. [...]
International PHP conference in Frankfurt 2007
Yesterday was the first day of the International PHP Conference. I listened to Lars Jankowfsky in his session “Practising Agile Development”. Although different methodologies were mentioned it was mainly a one day session on how Extreme programming works. The session had a good mix of fun och seriousness. One of the reasons I wanted to [...]
