Alejandro Gervasio publie un dossier bientôt complet sur les manipulations de noeuds XML via l'extension DOM. DOM est une des API de PHP pour manipuler des documents XML : elle permet l'ajout, le retrait ou la modification de noeuds, avec une gamme impressionnante de fonctions. Si vaste, cette gamme, qu'il est parfois difficile de comprendre comment on va faire pour réaliser certaines opérations simples.

While still messing around with the PHP_CodeSniffer Pear package, I took a somehow jealous 1000 feet look at some prominent code inspection tools of the Java community: PMD and Checkstyle. Browsing their available rule sets/checks I soon recognized that guaranteeing the coding standard adherence is just a partial aspect of these tools. The following post will focus on one of these additional aspects, which is finding problems related to the code size of the inspected code artifacts, by showing how to port two selected rules to sniffs for utilization with the PHP_CodeSniffer tool. These ported sniffs can be used to automatically spot obvious code smells in the code base and to signal the need to apply the appropriate and odour reducing activity known as refactoring. Further more a complete set of code size sniffs, going beyond the trageted realm of the sniffs to come, could be used to speed up the feedback loop and to reduce the effort for manual code reviews.

A simple PHP HTML DOM parser written in PHP5 . I wrote it is because using PHP DOM XML library to parse HTML is really a pain. The origional idea is from Jose Solorzano's HTML Parser for PHP 4.

Zend Framework in Action is a book that covers all you need to know to get started with the Zend Framework.

This extension allows the Python interpreter to be embedded inside of PHP, allowing for the instantiate and manipulation of Python objects from within PHP.

This is a full guide, covering several libraries (DOM/SVG, Cairo, Ming/Flash, GD) and all the important topics, when it comes to image creation.

Ilia Alshanetsky, still wearing his RM hat, announced the final tally of votes for features in PHP 5.3.

Unit Testing is often seen as an arcane, time consuming task - which it sometimes can be! But the point of spending time writing tests is to improve the quality of your source code so it has fewer overall bugs, many of which are detected early, a continual testing process to prevent new changes from changing the behaviour of older code, and to provide confidence that your code can be depended on. There are other benefits too, and we'll detail these later.

It has been a very long time since the last Suhosin extension has been released, but today this has changed with the release of Suhosin 0.9.21. Among the changes are two new features that will protect applications that put too much trust into the SERVER variables from several XSS (and SQL injection) attacks. These features are suhosin.server.strip and suhosin.server.encode.

The idea is to use the migrations approach made popular by Ruby on Rails but improve this concept with several key additions.

phpUnderControl integrates three of the best PHP development tools into CruiseControl, combined with an easy setup routine and a small example project. With the provided XSL-Stylesheets the generated output of PHPUnit, PHP_CodeSniffer and phpDocumentor can be visualized in CruiseContro

There are six classic ways to group the servers that your web-based applications run on. Many small PHP shops start small, and scale up their applications when necessary. However popular your customer’s website, all web-based applications written in PHP can be refactored to run on any of the classic architecture solutions, allowing you to grow with the demand that you’re experiencing.

Simple Asynchronous Messaging (SAM) allows PHP applications to send and receive messages to a number of different Messaging and Queuing middleware systems through a very simple interface.

Now, why do I think that Prado is far superior to VCL, and why would it have been a better choice:

Running phpunit --group bug42 AllTests.php will run only the tests associated with bug #42, regardless of what files and groups those test methods span.

PHPIDS (PHP-Intrusion Detection System) is a simple to use, well structured, fast and state-of-the-art security layer for your PHP based web application. The IDS neither strips, sanitizes nor filters any malicious input, it simply recognizes when an attacker tries to break your site and reacts in exactly the way you want it to. Based on a set of approved and heavily tested filter rules any attack is given a numerical impact rating which makes it easy to decide what kind of action should follow the hacking attempt. This could range from simple logging to sending out an emergency mail to the development team, displaying a warning message for the attacker or even ending the user’s session.

Active Record may be used to implement ORM, but it should never be used as an ORM.

Abstract Framework to develop simple Eclipse plugin using PHP. Create a framework that could support developing simple Eclipse plugin using a PHP To Java bridge (Like Caucho's Quercus and other JSR 223 engines). Develop and document a sample plugin in PHP, so that PHP developers could create simple plugins.
