SugarCRM Developers Blog: Enabling IMAP support under OS X Leopard
by Chris Cornutt August 28, 2008 @ 12:05:01
John Mertic passed along a note about a new post to the SugarCRM developers blog detailing how to enable IMAP support for PHP on an OS X machine.
With the release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard last fall, Apple (finally) included a modern version of PHP (currently version 5.2.6 as of this writing). [...] However, the default install of PHP that Apple included didn't include all of the available PHP extensions. Most notable is the IMAP extension, which is used in SugarCRM for the Campaigns and Emails modules. However you can build this extension and have it loaded dynamically, without affecting the rest of the default PHP install.
He shows where to get the packages and libraries you'll need to get the support working. The method involves building a shared module and including it to be loaded in your php.ini. This way it doesn't disrupt anything the current build has and you don't have to recompile everything over again.

Doug Brown's Blog: Zend_Cache is Saving me Money!
by Chris Cornutt July 04, 2008 @ 07:55:01
Doug Brown has posted a new entry to his blog about how the Zend_Cache component of the Zend Framework has saved him some money.
He and his site were taken offline by his own hosting company because of one little detail - the limit on usage for the shared server was 3% and his site was using 30%. Going through his logs, he found the culprit - a "too many connections" message from MySQL due to the number of requests.
I'll admit, I was in a huge hurry to get this project done, so I wasn't thinking about the long term effects. Needless to say, I wasn't caching my MySQL query results. I know, tisk tisk.
He added a new private method to his class (using Zend_Cache to store the date) and dropped the call into his controller to pulled the cached info whenever it needed it.

Hasin Hayder's Blog: Installing Imagick extension for PHP in Ubuntu 7.10
by Chris Cornutt February 07, 2008 @ 09:30:00
Hasin Hayder has provided some instructions he's created to install the Imagick extension for PHP on a Ubuntu linux system (7.10) in a new blog entry.
I already have ImageMagick installed in my machine and I tried to install the Imagick extension for PHP but I was stuck with strange errors. I have spent couple of hours today to figure out what I did wrong and Why I cant build that extension. Finally I've figured out that I must install ImageMagick from source first to build that extension. Heres how to.
He walks through the install, talking about where to get the package from, where to get the PECL extension for PHP and the compile process (with the result of a .so file PHP's extension can use).

Stuart Herbert's Blog: Using suphp To Secure A Shared Server
by Chris Cornutt January 18, 2008 @ 08:47:00
Stuart Herbert has posted about a very helpful method server admins can use out there to not only help secure their server but possibly make their web hosting users more happy in the long run - using suphp on a shared server (security).
The challenge with securing a shared hosting server is how to secure the website from attack both from the outside and from the inside. [...] This has created a gap that a number of third-party solutions have attempted to fill. One of the oldest of these is suphp, created by Sebastian Marsching.
He works through the whole process - the installation (this is all on a Gentoo linux system), configuring for your Apache install, changing Apache to make it work with suphp and finally some benchmarks and parting comments concerning its use.

Zend Developer Zone: Ed Finkler Talks About PHPSecInfo
by Chris Cornutt October 23, 2006 @ 09:37:00
Cal Evans over on the Zend Developer Zone has another of his infamous (well, okay - not infamous, but definitely good) interviews with people all around the PHP community. This time, it's a chat with Ed Finkler, a developer over at CERIAS concerning the new security tool designed to help even the security-clueless to protect themselves and their system.
Intrigued as much by this project, as I was by the fact that Ed wrote me and told me it was time for me to interview him, I called Ed and we talked about the project.
They talk about where the idea for the tool came from, one of the targets for the use of the project (those on shared hosting), and the mention that it is modular in design and they are more than happy to have developers work up tests to be sure things are working 100% correctly.
