XDebug to finally get a Web Frontend
In a new blog entry today, David Coallier has posted about two new offerings that are in the works for a web-based frontend to XDebug:
For quite a while in the PHP Community (And even myself) I have heard people asking about either an online tool to work on cachegrind output files or a cross platform tool that would have the ability to do what KCacheGrind does on Linux but for Windows and OSX.
He mentions the origin of the idea for a cachegrind app as a part of the Google Summer of Code (that did get accepted and will be worked on by Chung-Yang Lee). The other, Webgrind is an independent project from the other but looks equally as promising.
Check out Vinu Thomas' thoughts on the matter too.
How to make your own springloops in PHP
Recently, the Springloops version control system made its debut on the web and was greeted with both skepticism and interest. One developer, Hasin Hayder decided to look at it from a different angle and worked to see how easy it would be to reproduce a similar service.
Springloops is a nice code management service recently came into focus. It helps you to manage the code base of your application, monitor the commit and deploy the final version easily to another server. So if you are wondering how to build such a system and how it actually works, this article is for you.
He breaks it down into the six main topics (as he sees it) that are the core parts of the system - things like payment gateways, setting up subversion and making it user friendly. He goes through each topic, explaining its place in the application and providing some links to resources to help you set it up (or at least learn more about it).

phpBB front-end optimization - 1 hour workshop
On his blog, Stoyan Stefanov takes a look at using on of the most popular pieces of PHP forum software out there - phpBB - and optimizing the front-end.
During this short workshop there will be no changes to the phpBB code, we'll create a new template instead, so that in case something bad happens, your board will continue to work normally. As an example, I'll use the bgcanada.com/phpBB2, the board I volunteer to administrate.
The tutorial is broken up into sections:
- The plan
- New subdomains
- Creating a new template
- Moving CSS to an external file, merging
- Copying files to the new subdomains
- Serving gzipped content
- Turning ETags off
- Expires header
- Sysadmin summary
It looks like a lot of steps, but each section is relatively short and written well so as not to have more information than needed. In the end you'll have a simple template that uses Yahoo's 14 optimization rules to make things work that much faster.
Flash and PHP in On-Line Gaming
In thie new post to the Zend Developer Zone, Cal Evans caught up with three guys from the Athlon Sports web team - Bryce Wells (manager), Corey Snyder (lead Flash designer), and Mike McCracken (lead game PHP developer).
Earlier this year I was given the opportunity to visit one of Nashville's hidden gems, Athlon Sports. Athlon Sports is tucked away in a non-descript building near downtown Nashville. Inside is a 40 year old company, well respected in their field that has been, not so quietly, moving into the world of on-line games.
Traditionally, they publish Pre-Season Annual sports magazines. Before your favorite sport's season begins, Athlon probably publishes a magazine on it. These days however, their interactive division publishes their web site along with many private label on-line games.
They talk about topics like why Athlon decided to get into the web, some about the Pepsi Racing Project (and related technology choices), as well as why they went with PHP to "be the P in LAMP" for their Flash based application.
PHP frontend to Subversion (SVN)
In a new post to his blog, Robert Swarthout about a PHP frontend he's been developing for working with Subversion repositories:
The frontend needed to be designed in such a way that each developer could access their working copies and make the full range of actions against them. I decided to also use an AJAX setup so that pages would be quickly loaded and updated by a single toggle of a folder.
A few issues popped up, including tracking edits correctly through the interface. His solution revolved around an Apache MPM that could serve different pages to different users and groups. With this solution in place, the functionality could be built up, a list of which he provides including:
- create working copy from repository (svn checkout)
- svn blame
- svn delete
- search files (via a grep/find combination, omitting .svn folders)
- svn rename
