Presenting the latest edition of The ZendCon Sessions. The podcast that rebroadcasts sessions/talks from the last ZendCon PHP Conference. This episode of The ZendCon Sessions was recorded live at ZendCon 2008 in Santa Clara, CA and features Wez Furlong giving his talk: “ PDO : PHP Data Objects”

With most of the Flickr services available they are wrappers for the Flickr API. Therefore I thought I should make a more logical implementation, more O/R like. It’s available now under the new BSD license and works like a charm ;)

I think I’m the last attendee to write up my experiences at the Dutch PHP Conference 2009 (DPC) this year
(Due to being swamped with ZendCon planning). But I wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss the
chance altogether.

You’ve probably heard about ‘the cloud’. It’s the latest buzzword circulating in Silicon Valley and beyond. In some ways, ‘cloud’ is a fitting name- everyone sees something different when they look at it. For example, offerings as dissimilar as force.com and Amazon’s MapReduce service have worked their way in to ‘the cloud’ moniker at some point. Even the cloud’s biggest advocates can’t agree on what ‘the cloud’ is. But in teasing the facts out of all the hype, you’ll find some services that could change how you write and deploy your PHP applications forever.

Rob Allen has a new post with some tips for those using the Zend Server Community Edition on OS X. While the Server installs a lot of the necessary software, there’s still a few changes in the configuration and extra software he wanted – PHPUnit and Xdebug.

I updated my tools page.  The php timestamp converter tool has been updated to use timezone_identifiers_list() (i.e. ‘America/New_York’), now instead of hard-coded offsets.

Also moved all the scripts into one directory here.

When I get bored again I’ll add some more.  I actually use these from work so it’s really just a convenience for me.

On his blog, Jeroen Keppens writes about his love of modular design philosophies, and how one can do modular based design, using Zend Framework and Zend_Tool

New on his blog today Benjamin Eberlei has posted his own look at dependency injection containers in PHP applications, specifically with the Zend_Application component of the Zend Framework .

Last night’s had us continuing our adventures from the last session in the dungeon I-keep-forgetting-the-name-of with characters I-don’t-recall-their-names-unless-it’s-written-on-my-character-sheet.
