In his most recent post Joshua Theijssen shows you how to set up a complete Symfony2 environment, automated with the help of Puppet and Vagrant.Together with other tools, setting up a complete development environment with just a single command is not only reality, but it's becoming for a lot of developers a daily practice. But even for open source projects like joind.in and protalk.me are seeing the benefits of having "development environment on the fly". New contributors don't have to spend a lot of...
James Fuller has posted some of his thoughts about the state of IDEs for PHP (text editors too!) and some of his recent experiences trying to find one that fits his needs.I think the first "IDE" I ever used for web development would have to be Adobe Dreamweaver (nee Macromedia). Ok, so maybe it was Microsoft FrontPage, but that shouldn't really count. [...] This post is about my experience moving away from the oft-maligned program and some lessons learned in my quest for the perfect IDE.He tried out...
Matthew Weier O'Phinney has a new post to his blog today looking at visibility in OOP in PHP - less about the features the language offers and more about the theory of their use.I'm a big proponent of object oriented programming. OOP done right helps ease code maintenance and enables code re-use. Starting in PHP, OOP enthusiasts got a whole bunch of new tools, and new tools keep coming into the language for us with each minor release. One feature that has had a huge impact on frameworks and libraries has...
On Dzone.com today there's a new post showing you how to build PHP applications with Visual Studio based on PHP project templates.Developing web applications with PHP is cool, especially when you have the right development tools and even with more features added in PHP 5.4. But each time I left the comfort of Intellisense in Visual Studio to develop PHP applications using Zend or Netbeans for PHP, I was not always satisfied with those IDEs' code complete features. Thus, I decided to search for any...

I'd like to point your attention to one particular comment on Jeff Atwood's new a€oPHP sucks!a€ť blog post, a comment by Adam Victor Nazareth Brandizzi:
I am a Java programmer at work (could be no more corporate-y) and a Python developer in my projects (could be no more hipster) but I admire PHP and its ability of solving problems. It grows because, some times, some poor soul wants to create an online encyclopaedia, or some teacher needs an online teaching platform, or someone wants to write a blog....

right helps ease code maintenance and enables code re-use.
Starting in PHP, OOP enthusiasts got a whole bunch of new tools,
and new tools keep coming into the language for us with each minor
release. One feature that has had a huge impact on frameworks and
libraries has been available since the earliest PHP 5 versions:
visibility.
In the second part of their series looking at the Laravel PHP framework and creating your first application with it. In part one you got a brief introduction to creating and configuring an application. In part two they dig a little deeper and talk about Laravel's ORM functionality.In this Nettuts+ mini-series, we'll build a web application from scratch, while diving into a great new PHP framework that's rapidly picking up steam, called Laravel. In this lesson, we'll be working on an integral part of any...
PHPMaster.com has posted the second part of Alejandro Gervasio's series looking at dependency injection, service locators and factories. In this new part of the series, he picks back up with his look at these patterns and how they can reduce your dependencies on things like "new" even more.While it's fair to admit that factories do have a neat niche in a number of special use cases, I'm not so merciless as to condemn Service Locators and plain Dependency Injection to an unfair exile. In this final part...
On the MaltBlue.com blog Matt has posted four different keys he sees to making a good software development environment and make for happier developers (and managers).A lot of the time when we're developing applications they're likely to be based around customizing or extending an existing application, such as WordPress, Joomla, Oxid eSales et al. In these cases, there's a clear set of rules and guidelines to work with. [...] But what about when we're building our own applications, bespoke ones, from...
In this new post to his blog, Cal Evans shows developers (and non-developers) how they can set up a free WordPress blog with the help of the phpcloud.com and phpfog.com hosted services.Everyone however, experiments. Whether it's a new theme or a new plugin, you really, really need someplace to test things. one of the worst thing you can do is what I do with this blog, just install things and play with them in production. [...] There is a solution though, actually, I'll present you with two. One for PHP...

Some people speak incredibly fast, others make you fall asleep listening. If you have a heterogenous MySQL cluster with differently sized machines, some will be able to answer questions faster than others. PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.4, the PHP MySQL replication plugin, allows you to assign more requests to the faster ones than to the others. Cluster nodes can be given a weight, a priority for load balancing. For example, a node given a weight of two will get twice as many requests in the average as a node...
Jeremy Cook has written up a new post showing you a method for normalizing the date and time information in your application (DateTime) with the help of Doctrine's own event listeners.The solution we hit on was to leverage Doctrine's system of event listeners to help us do the work. Doctrine allows you to register listeners with the entity manager that are called whenever certain events occur. We created an event listener that is triggered on the onFlush event.Code is included for the event listener they...
Zend has published the results of their "Developer Pulse" survey for 2012 - the product of a survey of over three thousand developers across the PHP community.The summer 2012 edition of the Zend Developer Pulse™ survey shows that PHP is gaining prominence as a cloud application development language of choice. The combination of speed and ease of use enables developers to build and deploy PHP-based cloud applications quickly: more than half the developers surveyed indicated that the apps they are...
The Northeast PHP conference is a two day event coordinated by three PHP user groups in the northeast region:
Boston PHP, Atlantic Canada PHP, and Vermont PHP. The entire event is being organized organized by community
volunteers and members just like you. We are completely non profit, and open source.
There will be nothing quite like it. With two fun-filled days full of great topics from over 40 experts, it's like three years of Meetups jam packed into two days!
Check out the Northeast PHP...
In the latest post to his blog James Morris looks at using XPath's query() function to locate pieces of data in your XML.The other day I needed to do some html scraping to trim out some repeated data stuck inside nested divs and produce a simplified array of said data. My first port of call was SimpleXML which I have used many times. However this time, the son of a bitch just wouldn't work with me and kept on throwing up parsing errors. I lost my patience with it and decided to give DomDocument and...
In this recent post to DZone.com Giorgio Sironi looks at duck typing and compares it in a few different languages (PHP, Ruby and Java). "Duck typing" is where the methods/functions define the structure or common interface rather than being functional.What follows is my experience with Java, PHP and Ruby. I mainly use PHP as a dynamic language that supports duck typing but also the definition of Java-like interfaces, but does not force any of the two approaches as you can define interfaces whose method...
