symfony1 is well and alive and many developers are now using it for projects hosted on Git. But as the official symfony 1 repository is hosted on Subversion, it's not always easy to get things versioned easily. As of today, this becomes much more easier. If you are using Git and symfony1, you can now use the official symfony1 Git clone.

There are branches for each of the major 1.x releases as well as tags for some of the minor releases. You can, of course, still access the latest packages directly via the symfony website.

If you watch the timeline, you probably noticed the important number of updates of these last days. If you opened a ticket, you also probably noticed that more than 160 tickets were fixed since 0.6.3. There are a lot of changes in symfony lately (see the changelog for the full list), and here is a brief overview of the important stuff.

Included in the list are things like:

• Many-to-many relationships
• New CLI tasks
• AJAX actions have no layout by default
• my* Classes
• Validators

The PHP development team is proud to announce the release of PHP 4.4.2. This release address a few small security issues, and also corrects some regressions that occurred in PHP 4.4.1. All PHP 4 users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Further details about this release can be found in the release announcement and the full list of changes is available in the PHP 4 ChangeLog.

Some of the things that this edition fixes includes: HTTP Response Splitting has been addressed in the header() function, an XSS problem inside the error reporting functionality has been removed, and Apache 2 regression with sub-request handling on non-Linux systems has been fixed.

So, head on over and grab this lastest distribution and upgrade today!]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 11:45:52 -0600 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4400 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4400 PHPMac.com today, they have this new tutorial posted to help you, the OS X (Tiger) user to get Apache 2 and PHP 5.1.1 installed on your system.

For anyone that has been wishing to switch to Apache 2 on their Mac, this is the time to do it. PHP 5 has also recently been updated to 5.1.1 and this tutorial describes in detail, the best method to both build and install these programmes on your Mac.

Since Apple don't include Apache 2 with OS X yet I have felt it better to keep Apache 2 in its own directory, and to keep PHP for Apache 2, etc. confined the that directory too.

As usual, they give you all of the commands and information to get it all unpacked, placed in the right locations, and configured for your setup. There are also a few "frequent issues" down near the end of the tutorial to watch out for during your process...]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2005 07:11:52 -0600
