ParanoidFerret.com: Using Flex, PHP, and JSON to Modify a MySQL Database [2007-08-07 03:03:09] ParanoidFerret.com is back with another Flex and PHP article today and this time, some other friends are joining in - JSON and MySQL. To follow-up on the Flex and PHP tutorial we did earlier I thought it would be nice to do a complete tutorial on php, mysql, flex, and json. This tutorial should show a decent way to send data in a database to and from flex to php using json. I will explain this in more detail in just a moment. ...

Vinu Thomas's Blog: Quercus - PHP5 in 100% Java [2007-08-07 03:01:43] On his blog today, Vinu Thomas points out a faster way to run PHP natively on a pure Java server - Quercus. As a side benefit, it can also interact with the Java code already in the application/on the server. Quercus is Caucho Technology's 100% Java implementation of PHP 5 released under the Open Source GPL license. Quercus comes with many PHP modules and extensions like PDF, PDO, MySQL, and JSON. Quercus allows for tight integration of Java services with PHP scripts, so using PHP with JMS or Grails is a quick and painless endeavor. Quercus focuses on the integration of PHP and Java and allows PHP to access things like Java's JMS, EJB and SOA Frameworks. It works by compiling the PHP scripts into Java and run on top of the Quercus software as a native application.

Stefan Mischook's Blog: PHP Classes and Objects video tutorial [2007-08-07 03:01:10] In a continuing series of videos, Stefan Mischook has posted the last video discussing theory for object-oriented programming with PHP today. I've released a new video that basically covers the content covered in the PDF: Classes and Objects. It is the last bit object oriented PHP theory before we jump in and start writing actual PHP code. The video only runs about five minutes and covers the items from the PDF - a lot of the basics you'll need to know before getting into programming with objects and classes in PHP.

Nick Halstead's Blog: Most Influential Programmers Results [2007-08-03 21:49:10] As mentioned by Nick Halstead, the results are in from the poll for the "Most Influential Programmers" list that he put together, including a PHP name in the top five. About a month ago I posted my Top 10 most influential programmers which caused a bit of a stir. So I then followed it up with an online poll which I said I would run for a month. The time is up and the final results are in. Coming in at fifth place is Rasmus Lerdorf of PHP fame (topped by the likes of Linus Torvads and Alan Turing). As Nick mentions, though, it was interesting to see that Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans only received a handful of votes.

Mike Willbanks' Blog: E-Commerce Framework Part 2 [2007-08-03 21:48:40] Following up from a previous entry, Mike Willbanks has posted some clarifications on points previously made and the highlights on what he thinks a good framework should entail. I decided to clarify and also explain some of my thoughts and ideas that an e-commerce framework should hold. These thoughts and ideas may be a little rough around the edges but I wanted to give a definition to the meaning of what I feel a framework is in this case as well as items that would potentially be a part of this framework. Some of his requirements are things like reusable design, useful/easy to use components, functionality for both payment processing and courier handling as well as a catalog system to help manage items.

Ilia Alshanetsky's Blog: 5.2.4 RC1 Released [2007-08-03 21:47:05] Ilia Alshanetsky has just announced the release of the latest Release Candidate in the PHP 5.2 series - PHP 5.2.4 RC1. This release have been long in the making so the changelog is a bit intimidating, so we definitely need a lot of testing for this release. I would like to ask everyone to give this RC a shot and see how it behaves with their code and hopefully not find any regressions. If you do find any, please let us know. You can download this latest release from Ilia's directory off of the php.net website.

Evan Sims' Blog: Web APIs by Example, Part I: Twitter [2007-08-03 21:44:32] On his blog today, Evan Sims has posted the first part on a series of tutorials about working with the Twitter API in PHP to create a simple easy application. Since Twitter is all the rage these days, I thought it would be a great starting point to introduce you to the world of web APIs and how simple they really are to work with. Twitter, like most presencing services, has a very limited range of API calls because, well, it's a very simple service. Before he starts, he takes a second to explain the parts of the application - what REST is, why he chose PHP and an overview of the communication between client and server. After that, it's on to the code - creating a simple socket with the fsockopen functionality (and friends) and an example of a message that is sent over the socket to Twitter (in this case, a "test" message to ensure things are working).
