Amazon Web Services: Introduction to AWS for PHP Developers

On the Amazon Web Services site a new article from Clay Loveless has been posted - an Introduction to the Amazon Web Services for PHP developers. All of these services are available via both REST and SOAP interfaces. (We'll touch on both in this article, but we'll concentrate on the REST and REST-like Query approaches. ) A growing number of language specific toolkits are available for these services, so you can feel comfortable basing an architecture on AWS given its language-agnostic foundation. If you start off building a business around AWS using Ruby and decide to switch to PHP, there will be nothing stopping you. He includes code to ensure you can even connect (a compatibility script) and a link to the files you'll need to work through the tutorial. He shows how to create the connection to the AWS backend, launch the local server and building a simple video sharing site.

Maarten Balliauw's Blog: PHPPowerPoint 0.1.0 (CTP1) released!

Maarten Balliauw has posted about the release of a new bit of software to help you read and write from/to Microsoft PowerPoint files - PHPPowerPoint (0.1.0 CTP1). Just like with PHPExcel, PHPPowerPoint can be used to generate PPTX files from a PHP application. This can be done by creating an in-memory presentation that consists of slides and different shapes, which can then be written to disk using a writer (of which there's currently only one for PowerPoint 2007). Some example code is included that creates a single-slide slideshow with the PHPPowerpoint logo and the text "Thank you for using PHPPowerpoint". There's plenty of configuration options and you can place things in the slides down to the pixel. You can try out this initial release here.

Just Posted: Fujifilm FinePix F200 EXR review

Just Posted: Our review of the Fujifilm FinePix F200 EXR. Fujifilm has built up a reputation for following its own path when it comes to sensor technology, which has resulted in cameras such as the F30, F31fd and S5 Pro that have developed devoted followings. Now we have the FinePix F200 EXR, the first camera to incorporate the company's Super CCD EXR technology. So does this latest wizardry live up to the promises of improved low-light performance and greater dynamic range? And, just as importantly, what's the camera like to use? Find out the answer to both questions in our in-depth review.

Joseph Crawford's Blog: MySpace PHP REST Library

For those still looking to interface with MySpace, Joseph Crawford has pointed out an official REST library for PHP to connect with their API. Over the last few days I have been digging deep into the concepts of REST. I have been reading through my copy of RESTful Web Services. Out of curiosity I searched Google for a "php REST library" and it turned up the Official MySpace PHP REST Library. He points out one interesting thing about it, though - it's like they started using an object-oriented design but build after making the classes with properties. No methods. Even if they were to choose to go the PHP 5 way I would highly suggest that they do not use classes as containers for constants, there is no need to do this. It is not using proper OOP methodologies. Why create an object that just holds 2 - 4 constant variables, these would be better suited for define() calls in my opinion.

Zend Developer Zone: Compiling PHP extensions with Zend Server

On the Zend Developer Zone a new tutorial has been posted showing how to compile PHP extensions to work with the Zend Server web platform. To date, Zend Server includes 77 PHP extensions that Zend considers essential or just very helpful for most PHP developers. Still, what if the one that your code uses is not among them? Or you wish to compile one of the extensions Zend Server is shipped with in a different way (against your own libraries or to support additional, less common features)? If this scenario sounds familiar to you, you may find this tutorial useful. You'll need to know a bit about compiling and some of the tools (like autoconf, automake, the gcc compiler, and libtool) before you get started. Two scenarios are described - one for installing and compiling the Newt extension (RedHat's Newt New Terminal library) and another slightly less automated for the Pspell extension. Each of these examples make a shared module that can be included into the PHP installation via your php.ini.

PHPBuilder.com: Introduction to Arrays and Hashes in PHP - The ABC's of PHP Part 7

PHPBuilder.com has posted the seventh part of their "ABCs of PHP" series - a look at arrays and hashes. An array is a list of a certain variable type, where each item in the list can be referenced by a unique index number, usually starting at 0. [...] Like any other variable type, PHP will automatically define a variable type and set it up for you when you start using it, however in most cases (and it's good practice) you should usually pre-declare your intention to use an array, especially if you don't know in advance what your going to be storing in it. The article talks about what arrays are, how to create them, manipulating them with functions like array_splice and creating subarrays.

Symfony-Zone: HelloWorld example with Flex and Symfony

In this article on the Symfony-Zone blog they show you how to use the sfAmfPlugin to let your framework application act as a backend for a Flex/Air application. Today I want to show you how to use the sfAmfPlugin to create a simple Hello World application with Symfony, Flex and the plugin. AMF is the most comfortable way to communicate between a backend technology and Flex. AMF allows RMI (Remote Method Invocation) from Flex to a backend server that is able to support AMF. The sfAmfPlugin for Symfony adds AMF-support to the PHP-Framework. Their example starts from the beginning - building a project, creating an AMF service for the front end to connect to and creating the controller/action that will return the "Hello World" message. They also include some of the Flex code to handle the request and response handling for the connection to the symfony backend.

Content With Style: Unit testing web service based models in Zend Framework

The Content with Style blog has continued their series looking at unit testing with the Zend Framework (see this previous post) with this look at testing services based models. However, unit testing models that talk to web services presents us with a different set of problem. Usually our application runs requests against something that is not in our control. Unless the service provider gives us some kind of test mode, we're operating with dynamic live data which shouldn't be used for testing, since it's harder to test in the first place, but also could be harmful to be manipulated. They present two method you can use to test the models: creating mock objects to handle and return correctly formatted data and intercepting the HTTP request to either send it to a Zend_HTTP adapter or a different endpoint (service location).

Sameer Borate's Blog: Porter Stemming algorithm for search

In a recent post to his blog Sameer looks at implementing a Stemming algorithm to search an array of words. It uses this library (as written by Richard Heyes). A stemming algorithm lets you reduce each English input word to its basic root or stem (e.g. 'walking' to 'walk') so that variations on a word ('walks', 'walked', 'walking') are considered equivalent when searching. This stems can than be used in a search query rather than the original words, which generally (but not always) results in more relevant search results. His code example uses the library to search for two different types of strings - a single word and a phrase (with stop words removed). The Stem() method is called on the word and the results are looped through to remove all matching the values in the stop words array.

Ciclismo: Rabon 1o leader al Romandia, Cancellara lontano

Il primo leader della 63a edizione del Tour de Romandie è il ceco Frantisek Rabon, che ha vinto il prologo a cronometro di Losanna (3,1 km) davanti al francese Sandy Casar e allo spagnolo Alejandro Valverde. Iscrittosi all'ultimo minuto e in ritardo di forma, lo svizzero Fabian Cancellara, specialista delle corse contro il tempo, ha dovuto accontentarsi dell'11o rango. Quest'anno il corridore della Columbia si era già imposto in una crono quest' anno, al Giro di Murcia. Il 25enne si è inoltre laureato campione nazionale della specialità.

Ibuildings techPortal: Refactoring Your Application

A new article has been posted on the Ibuildings techPortal site today from Stefan Koopmanschap The article looks at refactoring applications: what it is, how it can help you and a few requirements for doing it successfully. If you read articles, visit websites, read tech books or visit conferences you will undoubtedly have heard about the term refactoring. There is a good chance you've been refactoring yourself already, whether you knew it or not. In this article you will be introduced to the practice of refactoring. The basic definition will be discussed, as well as reasons for refactoring and how to actually refactor your code. The difference between refactoring your code and rewriting your code will also be explained. After explaining what refactoring is, he gets into how it can help your applications and some of the key things it will help you with like the creation of a more structured API, development of unit tests and a larger knowledge of the code base. A code example of refactoring is also included.

The Web Squeeze: Using Prado - A PHP Framework

On The Web Squeeze blog there's a recent post looking at a PHP framework that doesn't get mentioned that often (at least these days) - Prado. The post looks briefly at the framework at getting it set up for development. This [word game] project was going to be slightly larger, and writing everything myself from scratch would have taken far too long. So I decided to use a PHP framework. PHP frameworks are a collection of code, meant to make your life easier and to aid you in the rapid development of dynamic websites. My choice fell on the Prado framework (see www.pradosoft.com). He walks you through a first example script with both sides - controller to create/gather the content and the custom tag markup for it to inject the content into. He also includes a look at some of the Ajax support included with the framework. His example is the user clicking on a "Add to Cart" button to call the backend "onToCartClicked" method.

Intervistato da un settimanale italiano, ha spiegato che la conversione è avvenuta il 13 maggio 2007 (anniversario dell'attacco al Papa): lui stesso avrebbe informato il Vaticano della decisione di lasciare l'Islam. Agca è detenuto da nove anni in Turchia, dove finirà di scontare la pena nel 2010. "Subito dopo ha detto vorrei venire a Roma e rendere omaggio a Wojtyla, mio carissimo fratello".

Hockey: Svizzera gagliarda, ma battuta dalla Russia

Apparsa in difficoltà nelle prime partite, la Svizzera ha trovato la giusta ricetta per fare tremare la Russia, uscendo però sconfitta per 4-2. Atyushov ha segnato l'1-0 già al 2'19" con un tiro al volo (fuori posizione gli attaccanti elvetici, un po' lento a reagire Gerber). Gardner ha pareggiato al 9'46", in 5 contro 4, e pure in powerplay è giunto l'unico vantaggio rossocrociato della gara: rete di Pluess, ma passaggio illuminante di Streit. Il 2-2 di Kovalchuk e il 3-2 di Morozov, in contropiede, sono stati favoriti da errori individuali. A porta vuota (a 15" dalla fine) l'ultimo goal.

ITJOBLOG: Zend Server and how PHP sidled into the Enterprise

On the ITJOBLOG a recent post takes a look at how PHP has "sidled into the Enterprise" with the help of Zend and Zend Server. Zend is flourishing despite the recession - "the Q1 of 2009 has been our strongest quarter ever," says Suraski - and although PHP's enterprise market share is small compared to Java or .NET, it is growing. [...] What interests me is why this has happened. [...] More directly important though is that the community using PHP - the large area of non-paying users in Suraski's slide - has created a remarkable pool of resources on the Internet that is available to everyone, business users included. Non-commercial users are those most likely to share their knowledge, unfettered by concerns over business confidentiality or copyright. He notes that, upon sitting down and developing a small PHP application, every problem he encountered was easily remedied by either a Google search, a message board or in the PHP manual - "I don't mean to belittle the extent of online resources available to Java or .NET developers, but would argue that PHP has the edge here."

PHP in Action: 10 ways to improve your code

On the PHP in Action blog today Dagfinn has pointed out a presentation that, while directed at Java developers, has some good suggestions for anyone working in software development - 10 Ways to Improve Your Code (from Neal Ford). I discovered a video presentation available from QCon SF 2008 by Neal Ford called 10 Ways to Improve Your Code. Although the examples are in Java, most of the presentation is relevant to PHP. There are some ideas here that I've never heard of myself, such as "anti-objects". Some of the main headings are a bit cryptic, so you may have to see the video itself to have them explained. The list of ten ways includes things like test-driven development, good citizenship, the "single level of abstraction principle and anti-objects.

Paul Gregg has shared a method he's come up with to determine if a given IP is within a selected range. Unfortunately although people usually understand that an IP address is simply an unsigned 32 bit integer, and is easily determined, usually with $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], where the real challenge is - is in specifying the range within which they wish to check that IP address. IP ranges are usually specified in three common ways (in increasing complexity): wildcard, start-end range, classless inter-domain routing. He looks at each method and includes descriptions and code examples as well as a link to the source code and a live demo of it in action.

Prende corpo anche in Europa la paura per una pandemia dovuta all'influenza suina. Tre i casi per il momento accertati, uno in Spagna e due in Scozia. Le vittime, come nella maggior parte dei casi, sono di età compresa tra i 20 e i 50 anni. Si allunga nel frattempo la lista dei paesi europei in cui il virus H1N1 potrebbe essersi propagato: casi sospetti sono segnalati in Italia, Germania e Gran Bretagna. Il Governo messicano ha intanto deciso che da martedì e fino al 6 maggio tutte le scuole del paese rimarranno chiuse per evitare il rischio di contagio.

Le due squadre sono le prime a passare il turno nei rispettivi gruppi (C e D). Incapaci di fare la differenza nei primi 40', gli statunitensi, per nulla irresistibili, hanno allungato nel 3o periodo, chiuso con un parziale di 4-0. Segnata da una lunga pausa per la rottura di una parte del plexiglass, il match tra Cechia e Norvegia si è in pratica deciso nel 1o tempo: sul 3-0, Jagr e compagni hanno amministrato il gioco, tenendo a bada gli avversari.

Questo ennesimo passo è volto a prorogare il blocco (che scade il 30 aprile) degli averi dell'ex dittatore depositati su vari conti e ad evitare che finiscano in mano agli eredi di Mobutu... Poche ore prima, la RDC aveva deciso di non ricorrere contro il parere del Ministero pubblico.

"È possibile provare ad accellerare i tempi per questioni d'urgenza di salute pubblica, ma quattro mesi è un termine standard, perché c'è un processo biologico che richiede un tempo che non può essere compromesso", ha spiegato. Il laboratorio si è detto comunque "pronto a lavorare per mettere a punto un prototipo di vaccino".

Micheline Calmy-Rey aveva giustificato l'incontro con il fatto che la Confederazione rappresenta gli interessi USA in Iran e costituisce un canale di comunicazione tra i due paesi.

Jonathan Snook's Blog: Building a URL Shortener (with CakePHP)

With recent discussions about URL shortners, Jonathan Snook decided to work up his own quick version using some of the built-in routing of the CakePHP framework. With all the talk of URL shortening services, I decided to add a quick service into Snook.ca, which is run on CakePHP, to redirect a short URL to a post. Because my static content already has short URLs and all I have are posts, creating a short URL handler for it was very easy. His shortener is used on his posts for his blog to redirect the smaller URLs back to the post they reference. The result is a route that connects something like "/s/id_number" over to the correct post (as seen here). He also offers a suggestion for a "super-compressed" URL tat converts it down to a three-character shortened version that can then be easily converted back down to the decimal equivalent.

In this recent post to his blog Terry Chay points out one way he (and Tagged) used to help prevent things like "unknown class" errors in their code - lazy loading. It's not that Andrei is wrong in his admonition. Far from it! For reasons that I don't quite care to know, there are caching and lookup optimizations that APC cannot do when it has to switch context to run __autoload. They did see a performance boost from the code rewrite it took to make this happen but, since not everyone can take the time to optimize their code like this, he also suggests another way (as written up by Brian Shire). It uses two settings for APC in your php.ini file and the latest versions of PHP 5.3 & APC along with this patch to make them work.

Virus: Zeltner, la Svizzera è pronta

Il direttore dell'Ufficio federale della sanità pubblica, Thomas Zeltner, ha affermato lunedì che la Svizzera non è mai stata così pronta a un'eventuale pandemia. "È ancora presto per giudicare la pericolosità del virus ha però precisato alla DRS e ora si sa relativamente poco sull'influenza", esprimendo anche interrogativi sulla presenza di morti solo in Messico e non negli USA. Ha spiegato che la Confederazione si adeguerà in ogni caso alle misure dell'OMS, con la quale la cooperazione insieme a Svizzera e Unione europea funziona "in modo esemplare".

Londra, concerto "intimo" per Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan ha tenuto un concerto davanti alla Roundhouse di Londra davanti ad alcune centinaia di spettatori stipati all'inverosimile. Il poeta della musica USA ha cantato per oltre due ore attingendo soprattutto al repertorio classico, lasciando invece da parte i pezzi del nuovo album Together Through Life. Con la band, la star ha dato vita a sonorità rock, blues, swing e country davanti anche a una fitta platea di vip. Dylan, austero nel suo abito da gentiluomo sudista, ha concesso poco al pubblico, restando in piedi dietro a un organo Hammond.

Matthew Turland's Blog: Building PHP-GTK with Cairo Support on Ubuntu Jaunty

Matthew Turland has posted a guide he created following his own process as he worked to compile PHP 5.3.0RC1 with PHP-GTK/Cairo support on a Ubuntu (Jaunty) installation. The process was a bit arduous, as Ubuntu apparently has a rather "interesting" automake package, so I thought I'd document it here for anyone who might be interested in repeating the process. [...] I'm assuming here that you want to use as many available Ubuntu packages as is feasible, aside from maybe PHP itself, in order to minimize the amount of manual compilation necessary. He works through the steps that include installing several packages (via apt-get), compiling PHP to work with PHP-GTK, compiling and phpize-ing the Cairo extension and including that into the php.ini for the local installation. There's even a quick test script (a clock) you can run to see if all it working correctly.

The php|architect publishing group has released a new book from Derick Rethans dealing with time/date handling in PHP - php|architect's Guide to Date and Time Programming. If your development involves working with dates and times, then this book is a must-have.

SmartyCode.com: Serving XHTML in Zend Framework App

On the SmartyCode.com site, there was a new article posted recently looking at making the output of your Zend Framework application XHTML compliant. Serving XHTML is often misunderstood by php developers. Frontend engineers simply include the XHTML doctype to their documents, without actually serving document as XHTML. This triggers majority of the browsers to treat such pages as 'tag-soup'. [...] This front controller plugin's code mostly takes concepts from the excellent article by Keystone Websites, but implements in Zend Framework environment in an object-oriented way. The code works as a plugin to the controller and runs a few checks on the contents of the data being pushed out (dispatchLoopShutdown) and returns the correct header information (DOCTYPE, language attribute) in the correct XHTML format for the data. When the plugin is registered, all it takes is a call to the "doctype()" method to output the correct information.
