Tips for working with Zend_Search_Lucene
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, 6 days ago Zend advanced tutorials framework lucene search
A common misstep for a developer who is implementing Lucene for the first time is to stuff an overabundance of data inside it, reducing performance. For someone who doesn't have a background in natural language processing or information retrieval, some data normalization steps may not come naturally. This post specifically regards Zend_Search_Lucene, but much of my advice can be abstracted across various languages to other Lucene ports, such as Lucene.NET.

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.

PHP on the D-Bus
in PHP added by CalEvans, on 10/11/2009 advanced tutorials oo programming php5 podcast
The D-BUS Inter Process Communication mechanism is the basis for many system-related functionality on Linux-based systems. Both GNOME, KDE, as well as the Open Moko Linux computing platform use it extensively for everything related to talking to services and hardware. Skype, as well as other applications, provide D-BUS APIs as well. In this presentation I will be presenting a PHP/D-BUS integration to allow PHP to talk to D-BUS aware applications. I will demonstrate controlling Skype from PHP, as well as the implementation of PHP-GTK based applications on the OpenMoko to talk to, and use the different hardware services it offers, such as GSM and GPS. This talk should show a few things that people don’t really associate PHP with, and thus provide some insight that PHP’s strength is not only on the Web.

in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 1/11/2009 ab test advanced tutorials cakephp framework jquery metrics
Knowing what is driving the user experience is key to the success of an application. Subtle changes in the interface can cause dramatic shifts in user behavior. Here, A/B tests display two (or more) language choices or color choices to a user (any HTML). Metrics are measured in two ways - 1) did the user click on the button at all and 2) how long did it take them to find it from the moment the page has started loading?

Playing with Zend_Navigation and routes
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 10/8/2009 Zend advanced tutorials framework routes
I wanted to set up routes in such way that when a user requests a page, all requests for non-existing controllers/modules are directed to a specific controller (not the error controller). In other words, if we have controllers IndexController, FooController and PageController, anything but http://example.com/index and http://example.com/foo is directed to the PageController.

Currying in PHP
in PHP added by goodphptutorials, on 13/7/2009 advanced tutorials curry
What happens if you don't have all the arguments handy for a function, but you want to give whatever arguments you do have now and then provide the rest of them to the function later? This is called currying, and is a core concept in functional programming. It's messy, but possible to curry functions in PHP now that closures have been added.
