I don't really know much about ads, save that I dislike annoying
'in-your-face' ones (Flash ads on website in particular!) so I wouldn't
really know what ad-blockers would block or let through.

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 ;-)

    Well, good thing you're nowhere near being close to having a say
in that, eh?  ;-P

    First of all, this is the General mailing list, meaning that
anything generally-related to PHP is allowed, accepted, and
encouraged.  Before you subscribed, you were warned that this is a
high-traffic list.  If you don't like it, please send a very long,
detailed message to php-general-unsubscr...@lists.php.net and we'll be
happy to respond.

    Second, Debbie Otterstetter from Zend is absolutely,
one-hundred-percent completely correct in posting such a message here,
with both my encouragement and blessing.  I work with her on a
near-daily basis to get events coordinated on php.net, so trust me -
she's not going to bombard the list with SPAM.

    Lastly (for now), I will reiterate: if you're not interested, do not reply.

    (P.S. - We should institute a new rule: no one is allowed to make
suggestions regarding things until they've submitted at least 500
valuable posts.  Of course, that won't happen.... stupid democracy.
;-P)

    Don't top-post.  Even that part is in the rules when you signed up.  ;-P

    Absolutely not.  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

You mean that PHP is not drugs, money, or sex?

What's the purpose then?

    Were you here when I was still running the weekly metrics on the
list a few years ago?  I still get requests to reinstate it, I just
haven't had the chance.  I keep meaning to enlist Richard Heyes to
incorporate RGraph (http://www.rgraph.net/) into my ListWatch library.
 Someday....

    However, for those interested in basic metrics:

Who? Me?

Imagine OSS like a big extended family. You get some people you like,
others you don't.

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.

Changing that fixes the problem, but there are alot of clases with this problem.

Are these problems being addressed?

I found similar problems with some of the pear stuff I use when I tried 5.3.0 awhile back. For the present, I am just sticking with 5.2.x branch and will give some time for the various pear maintainers to work out the kinks.

One thing you can do is file bug reports with the pear components you use. I did not because I moved my test server back to 5.2.x thus I would have no way of testing whether the fixes actually worked, but if you have a box you can dedicate to 5.3.x testing, file the bug reports and it will bring the problem to the attention of the pear maintainers.

Some pear packages are better maintained than others.

Hi people.

When I send an e-mail from PHP (not using the mail function) everithing 
works fine, but when such e-mail´s got in Microsoft Outlook it takes out all 
stressed letters in mail´s subject what doesn´t happen in Outlook Express?

My question is?

Is there any header that can avoid it?

Thanks in advance.

What code page is Lookout using? Does that page have those letters in it? Does 
it use the same character encoding that the source did?

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.
