It's been a while now since I first looked up for an interactive PHP shell. There quite a lot of projects in the wild, such as PHP_Shell, PHPInteractiveTerminal, iphp, phpsh, etc, but none that would actually satisfy me (either they didn't fulfill my requirements or they were only toy projects...

This is a little script I made to get rid of those damned short tags. [php] <?php while ($file = trim(fgets(STDIN))) { $content = file_get_contents($file); $search = array('/<\?=/', '/<\?(?!php|xml)/'); $replace = array('<?php echo ', '<?php '); if ($content != ($new_content =...

While setting up a test server for some software I wrote at the office, I eventually noticed the following notice: Notice: Use of undefined constant self - assumed 'self' That surprised me, because 1) I though self were some kind of "superglobal" constant or a special token of the parser,...

Having started a few applications using the Zend Framework, I came out with a few practices that I tend to use over and over. In this post I'll quickly expose some of them and explain why I do things the way I do them. As you'll notice, most of them are already widely known and used over the ZF...

Today I ran into an issue that I already ran into a few weeks ago when I did not have time to dig up, but today I had this time (this plus it's a really annoying issue as you'll see). The main symptom is that PDO does not throws exceptions when you'd expect it to. It's very annoying. The reason, in...

For those caring, I just posted some quick documentation for the pagination component at my assembla space. More docs will follow (including extensive phpdoc docblocks I hope)....

UPDATE: new version (r105) available. The component was given a little rewrite as expected, but maybe a little bit later than I would have wanted to :-) So it now has its own Rowclass proxy from which you can pull various infos such as current page, page range, next page, etc all exposed as getter...

So well, I've been busy these days working on my own implementation of a form component in the ZF spirit. This post is to help me see where I'm at with this component, as well as planning future evolution. I'll try my best to describe what it does and does not, and what it could do in the future. Of...

If you're wondering how much of a hassle it would be to migrate your app / codebase to php5, try the following command line (after having installed the php5-cli package of course): find . -name "*.php" -exec /usr/bin/php5 -l {} \; | grep -v 'No syntax errors' It'll show you all the files...

A quick post to show how one can easily implement a findByField wrapper in Zend_Db_Table: [php] /** * Implements a simple findByField wrapper */ public function __call($method, $args) { if (preg_match('/^findBy([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$/', $method, $parts)) { $field =...

Sometimes you have to pass an object data to another object, or to another layer of your application (who said controller/view ?), while ensuring that the receiving entity will not be able to run business code encapsulated in your class. In the Zend Framework, several objects provide a toArray...

While the Zend Framework's manual is somewhat quite good, it lacks a feature that make it a really good manual: search. I find it very frustrating to not be able to make a simple search and therefor having to browse through the extensive TOC to find what I'm actually looking for. Here enters the...

Yesterday I came up with a small pagination component for the Zend Frameworks. It implements the Proxy pattern around a Zend_Db_Table object, and overloads the fetchAll method. The main problem I encountered here was to retrieve the total number of rows for the table. I'm using a Zend_Db_Select...

This is a simple controller plugin for the Zend Framework which enable RESTful behaviour. It basically adds the HTTP method name to the action name, so that the URL http://example.com/foo/bar will be dispatched to FooController::barGetAction on a GET, FooController::barPostAction on a POST, etc....

So you're making your own view helper and you need, for a reason, to access the running $view instance. Don't worry, all you have to do is implement a setView() method which will be called on your helper's instantiation, with the $view as argument: class My_View_Helper_SpecialPurpose { protected...
