10 PHP functions you (probably) never use
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, 3 weeks ago beginner tutorials functions general
When scripting in PHP, we often restrict ourselves to a limited number of API functions: the common ones, like print(), header(), define(), isset(), htmlspecialchars(), etc. If some needed functionality doesn’t exist, we often write it making use of these basic components which we have in mind. The PHP API actually offers a lot of functionality, some useless and some useful; often seldom used. I have been looking through the available functions and was interested to find some really cool functions that I should have known about. Here, I share my findings.

Zend Framework on a shared host
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 10/1/2010 framework oo programming php5 zend framework
When you deploy a Zend Framework website to a shared host, you usually cannot change the DocumentRoot to point at the public/ folder of the website. As a result the URL to the website is now http://www.example.com/public/. This doesn't look very professional, so we'd like to remove it. The easiest way, given a ZF project created using Zend_Tool.

Writing a daemon in PHP
in PHP added by besx, on 22/12/2009 daemon linux php5
Many browser based games need to run processes in the background to fulfill special tasks. Think of a chatsever that handles incoming messages and broadcasts them to all connected clients. For such a purpose one cannot rely on user-executed scripts or cronjobs. We need an approach that runs a set of commands all the time as a background process on the server. This is where daemons come in handy.

Setting up your Git repositories for open source projects at GitHub
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 15/12/2009 advanced tutorials git github version control
Like a lot of projects in the Ruby on Rails world, the Insoshi social networking platform uses Git and GitHub to manage its open source development and contributions. In setting up the repositories for Insoshi, I've applied the version control experience I gained at Discover, where I was technical lead for the software configuration management (SCM) team. Since some aspects of our setup aren’t obvious if you haven't managed large projects before, we at Insoshi decided to share the details so that other GitHub projects might benefit as well.
