Niklas Keller:
Let's Encrypt with PHP
Mar 16, 2016 @ 18:05:32

The introduction of the LetsEncrypt free SSL certificate service has made making your site SSL only a much easier process than ever before. They've made it even easier by allowing automation around certificate setup and renewal. In this post to his site Niklas Keller shows you how to use a PHP implementation of a tool to setup/refresh your certificates automatically.

Let’s Encrypt, the free and automated CA, started late last year into their public beta. They offer a pretty comprehensive client to automate the process of getting SSL clients and installing them. It will soon be moved to a new home at EFF.

If you’re already using PHP and don’t need / want the automatic installation of your free certificates or don’t want to install Python, here’s a client for you. kelunik/acme-client is able to issue and renew certificates using your already running webserver (e.g. Nginx or Apache). It’s using the http-01 challenge to prove your domain ownership / control to Let’s Encrypt.

He shows how to use the client to set up a new LetsEncrypt account (if you don't already have one) and issue a certificate through a few command line calls. He then shows how to automate the process to check your certificate expiration and load the updated certificates. He also includes an example of the command to revoke a certificate, just in case.

Zend Developer Zone:
AJAX Chat Tutorial Part 7 : Usability Improvements
Jan 15, 2007 @ 17:38:00

The Zend Developer Zone has posted part seven of their series covering the development of an Ajax chat application. This time,. they're focusing on some of the final touches - usability improvements.

To start we need to make the chat messages automatically refresh at fixed intervals without requiring user input. We will also add a small message to let the user know when a background request is active. To finish up we remove the necessity of using the "Say It!" button to submit new chat messages.

They show how to make the chat window refresh at an interval (rather than manually), how to have the application tell the user it's doing something (like "loading"), and adding a keypress event to handle the user pressing the enter key to send off their message.
