During some consulting in January with the help of Sebastian Bergmann, from thePHP.cc, we setup continuous integration utilizing Atlassian Bamboo and received training on PHPUnit.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Getting_started_with_CouchDB_a_beginner_s_guidehttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Getting_started_with_CouchDB_a_beginner_s_guideHave you ever dreamt about a powerful database that you can access easily, without using the SQL language? That what Apache CouchDB is all about. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to get started with this document-riented database and how you can use it with PHP.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Multiple_select_lists_with_jQuery_JSON_and_PHPhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Multiple_select_lists_with_jQuery_JSON_and_PHPTutorial on how to prepopulate and save a multi select list selection by way of Ajax, JSON and jQuery.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Scaling_Web_Applications_with_HMVChttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Scaling_Web_Applications_with_HMVCThe last decade has been witness to the second iteration of web design and development. Web sites have transformed into web applications and rarely are new projects commissioned that do not involve some element of interactivity. The increasing complexity of the software being developed for the internet fuelled a requirement for structured and considered application design.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/The_Horrors_of_C99_phphttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/The_Horrors_of_C99_phpIf you were a sysadmin a few years ago, and you had php on your servers, you’re probably already familiar with c99.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/User_authentication_with_a_secure_cookie_protocol_in_PHPhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/User_authentication_with_a_secure_cookie_protocol_in_PHPThe use of cookies introduces a few security issues. The data in the cookie is stored in plain text and can easily be modified or hijacked. Liu et al. (2005) propose a secure cookie protocol which we will use as a guideline in this example.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Creating_a_Basic_Template_System_in_PHPhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Creating_a_Basic_Template_System_in_PHPThis article shows you how to use the php include function to implement a template system in PHP.

Since a command line interface is available, PHP can be used for developing standalone graphical applications on PCs as well. In contrast, we use a cross-compiled version of PHP for developing applications for embedded devices like cell phones, router oder networked attached storages (NAS).http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Faceoff_CodeIgniter_vs_CakePHPhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Faceoff_CodeIgniter_vs_CakePHPIn the red corner, we have CakePHP, the heavyweight fighter with guns to show.

The internals of which follow a pattern common to many language implementations, with lexical analysis, parsing, code generation, and execution phases. By the end of the presentation, it is hoped the audience will see that contributing to the PHP language core is not necessarily as difficult as it might seem.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Advanced_CouchDb_techPortal_Podcasthttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Advanced_CouchDb_techPortal_PodcastLearn how to use CouchDB replication for load-balancing, fault tolerance, offline work and backup. We are showing how to set up each and what you need to look out for. Finally, this talk is sprinkled with neat tricks and best practices for deploying CouchDB.

From the Pear Documentation - "PEAR is short for "PHP Extension and Application Repository" and is pronounced just like the fruit". It is an umbrella-term that encompasses a package management system, an official package repository, a coding standard and a command-line tool.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/10_PHP_functions_you_probably_never_usehttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/10_PHP_functions_you_probably_never_useWhen 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.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Transforming_XML_with_PHP_and_XSLhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Transforming_XML_with_PHP_and_XSLAdvanced tutorial on using XSL with PHP - including examples, tips and links to resources.

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.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Writing_A_Simple_Twitter_Client_Using_the_PHP_Zend_Framework_s_OAuth_Library_Zend_Oauth4724http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Writing_A_Simple_Twitter_Client_Using_the_PHP_Zend_Framework_s_OAuth_Library_Zend_Oauth4724In this article I'll explore how to writea quick Twitter client so you can post tweets (those short messages of less than 140 characters) once authorised across the OAuth protocol.http://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Understanding_MVC_in_PHPhttp://www.goodphptutorials.com/out/Understanding_MVC_in_PHPThis article series (continued in Implementing MVC in PHP: The Controller, Implementing MVC in PHP: The View, and Implementing MVC in PHP: The Model) demonstrates how to build an MVC web framework using PHP 5. This article covers the basics of MVC web frameworks, building the foundation classes for a framework that the other three articles in this series will build.
