RE: [PHP] RE: Delayed page display
-Original Message- From: rob...@visualize.info [mailto:rob...@visualize.info] Sent: 05 March 2010 00:00 Additional info: php.ini has output_buffering=4096. Calling flush() or ob_implicit_flush() within the script doesn't seem to help. However setting php_value output_buffering off in .htaccess does the trick. If output buffering is on, you need both an ob_flush() and a flush() (in that order) to force the output down the line. Cheers!

It was an offer to the community at large, not just you and the other top-poster. ;-P quite. and it's not like Zend send such offers to the list everyday, in fact I don't think I've seen anything from them here before at all. this list is not moderated, as such we're liable to receive stuff now and again that we're not personally interested in ... just ignore it. to those that argue it's expensive - quality training is, that's the nature of the business and the subject matter we deal with. to those that argue that it's spam, I would disagree - the 'ad' is directly relevant to php developers, the sender's employer is reputable, the recipients are all members of an unmoderated mailing list that is generally (pun intended) known to be very flexible and lax with regard to the exceptability of posts and lastly the actual sender is a traceable person with a working email address. everything pretty much above board as far as I'm concerned. I would suggest that Zend don't send such 'ad's too often purely because that might offend the very people they are trying to reach, additionally they might consider that when they do send things like this to also include links/etc to relevant/new resource that are freely available ... I'd personally wouldn't mind an occasional email pointing out some new article about, for instance, 'Best Practices' which also includes info about upcoming courses ... a bit of give and take in that vein might garner a more positive response, in general, from members of this list. ... your thoughts on a post card ;-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Don't top-post.

Thankfully, that will never, ever happen. And don't take this the wrong way, but it's quite evident that you're new to working with open source groups. There's no way the community gets income from anything, and the only support the community gets is through its peers. By participating in this list in a productive fashion, Jochen, is exactly where you're doing the right thing in supporting the community. Further, the PHP community is and has always been free from company decisions but believe me (and Richard Quadling will back me on this one), we certainly have our fair share of politics and internal obstacles, just like any organization. Some may say even more than many. ;-P Or just keep Ads out of here...no exceptions! just my 2 cents To a great extent, I agree with you on this one but I think that ads once in a while for PHP-related educational services, job offers, and other things to give you and your peers in the PHP community a chance to better themselves can be invaluable to many. Each year, we have a few hundred active participants on this list: some with one-off messages, others - like Ashley Sheridan - who have become fixtures here, and still others - like Jochem Maas - who regularly come and go. Then, we have literally thousands of lurkers --- those who are just getting into PHP, but are too timid yet to pipe-up and introduce themselves or ask a question, for fear of being heckled by those who think they're elite (blaming no one in this thread, but we've all seen it). For those folks who actively monitor the list to learn, they may very well be interested in the kind of ad Debbie sent. However, if it were to become a regular thing, advertising a website and offering nothing more than self-promotion, then there's a reason for wanting it gone for good. That kind of advertising is nothing more than a completely self-serving action masquerading as support for the community, and is worthy of complaints. And that, my friend, is exactly where I agree with you. As for the Zend posts, you can expect to see them now and again. If you personally would rather not, it's a good thing you're technologically-inclined: you know how to create a filter to auto-trash the message before you even see it. ;-P -- /Daniel P.

[PHP] PEAR clases don't work with PHP 5.3
A few days ago I upgraded my development server with PHP 5.3, and found that some pear packages stopped working giving FATAL ERRORs, like this (this one is from package Image_Graph): PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Image_Graph_Plotarea_Element::Image_Graph_Element() in /usr/share/php/Image/Graph/Layout.php on line 73 I found that the problem is when calling the parents constructors like parent::ClassName.

Re: [PHP] Re: Best Practices Book, Document, Web Site?
Other than coding standards, the other good read is:
(it seems to cover most topics I have ran into while maintaining a
high traffic site implemented in php 5):
http://phplens.com/lens/php-book/optimizing-debugging-php.php
It is 'best practices' from another angle - use of opcode cache (apc
etc..), output buffering and so on.
Coding standards vary a lot, so I would recommend sticking to one
style once a consensus is reached among the team and preferably
enforce it in automated fashion (e.g.
http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer/ as a svn pre-commit
hook).
The other easily over-looked part I have seen in many php projects is
the code layout and directory structure, including dependency
management (library code vs business logic etc..), and more
importantly only exposing the main 'entry point' scripts (index.php or
controller.php in a MVC model) in a apache doc root. Many times I have
seen poorly laid out code that ends up getting deployed with the
entire code bases exposed in a apache doc root. If care is not taken
(e.g. naming some files .inc and no special apache rules to interpret
them as a php handler), it is a security nightmare with critical files
getting exposed.
I have my own layout suggestion which has worked well for us, and once
mastered, it makes everyone in the team very productive. Maybe this
can be a separate topic in its own right.

Is there a PHP Best Practices Book, Document, or web site that has
information similar to Perl Best Practices but for PHP?
Yeah, it's hard to find this stuff.
A google search on {+Best Practices +PHP} returned only
4,340,000 hits.
Maybe, some day, someone will think to write something up.
The problem with this method is that scanning these results reveals
conflicting and contradictory recommendations that are all over the
place. Some are so old they may not even be valid PHP any
more. Reading
even a small subset of these pages is an exercise in frustration. But
that makes sense as there doesn't appear to be any consistency nor
consensus within the community, or even within some of the larger
projects.
Speaking of consensus, based on a recent discussion on the Perl
Beginners mailing list, the Perl Best Practices book is now considered
to be deprecated among the active Perl community. Many of its
recommendations are obsolete and no longer used. It is long
past due for
a major rewrite.
Bob McConnell
Yep. Perl Best Practices is due for a rewrite/update. I came across this page
that attempts to update it:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?pbp_module_recommendation_commentary
For PHP, I'll stick with the PEAR recommendations and do the best I can with
whatever is missing.
Thanks.

We need to keep 5.2.x supported as a switch to PHP5.3 IS NOT a simple option, and will take a lot longer before it is a practical one for many users. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
