Phil Sturgeon's Blog: CodeIgniter 2.0 Everything you need to know
by Chris Cornutt March 12, 2010 @ 08:14:27
Phil Sturgeon has posted a look ahead at everything you need to know about the next version of the popular CodeIgniter framework, version 2.0.
It has been 6 months since the last CodeIgniter minor update and 18 months since the last major update. Through all this time we were given no information about the next release of CodeIgniter, but finally 2.0 is on the way.
Because of the Ellis Labs move to Mercurial for its version control system (and BitBucket for the repository), it allows for a more "social coding" environment where it's easier for developers to just fork and contribute. Other major changes for this upcoming version include the fact that PHP4 support will officially be deprecated, driver libraries, application "packages", a smaller reserved controller name list and the dismissal of plugins.
Check out the Changelog for more detailed information as things are updated.

Juozas Kaziukenas' Blog: Don't be afraid of PHP 5.3
by Chris Cornutt March 02, 2010 @ 13:09:01
Juozas Kaziukenas has a suggestion for all of those developers (and web applications) out there that are still resting back on their comfort zone of PHP 5.2 - don't be afraid of PHP 5.3, the earlier the adoption the better!
While attending PHPUK conference in London, I noticed how much talk there is about PHP 5.3 and "when to upgrade?", there was even a presentation about that. Because I have been using PHP 5.3 for more than half a year, I decided to share my views on this topic. This topic is very important as the earlier PHP 5.3 is adopted, the sooner second iteration of frameworks can be released (story for Symfony).
He goes through a few of the concerns he's heard about making the move and tries to show things in a PHP 5.3 light and how it can help. He mentions the new features that come with the upgrade, the difficulties of porting over legacy code, package support by some of the major linux distributions and gives a few reasons why you should switch right now.

Mark van der Velden's Blog: Multiple PHP versions on one webserver
by Chris Cornutt November 03, 2009 @ 07:58:55
In a new post today Mark van der Velden looks at how to run more than one PHP version on one web server.
This is a blog about running two PHP versions on one webserver and using multiple php.ini files, this combination can be a tricky one to tackle. But luckily one we can tackle quite easily as long as one of the PHP versions is >= 5.2.7. For this example I'll be using Apache, but the webserver flavor doesn't really matter. The most important part is the "PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR" environment variable.
He wanted to be able to run a specific version (or versions) on the web server for applications that depended on or required a certain PHP version - like one that was written in PHP4 that would have all sorts of quirks if moved to PHP5. You'll need to know a bit about installing packages and how to compile one of the versions yourself, but configuring the Apache httpd.conf is simple. Virtual hosts make it easy to define a specific version for different parts of the site.

PHPBuilder.com: PHP Development Getting Started
by Chris Cornutt October 15, 2009 @ 13:17:14
In a new article from PHPBuilder.com today Marc Plotz starts from the beginning and guides the reader through some of the basics of PHP.
It's been a few years since I echo'd my first HELLO WORLD script. PHP has developed and evolved and yes, it has changed since it was first devised as little Perl extensions on Rasmus Lerdorf's localhost. Still, for a little Home Page script, it has grown into something that is now used on over 200 million websites around the world. That is nothing to be scoffed at. In this article we'll discuss the two most important things we should try to remember when developing in PHP.
His two things are "develop on linux" and "use SVN or CVS". The first tip is up for debate - one of the best things about PHP is its ability to work well on both linux and windows-based systems but the second point is an absolute must for anyone doing any kind of serious development work.

The Bakery: Clearing Up Some Confusion on the Release Versions of CakePHP
by Chris Cornutt September 03, 2009 @ 12:09:40
On CakePHP's Bakery blog Joel Perras has made a new post that, he hopes, will clear up some of the confusion around which versions of PHP will be supported in which CakePHP release.
There seems to be a bit of confusion as to what version of PHP will be supported in what CakePHP releases, and where to find which projects on http://code.cakephp.org/projects. Hopefully, this post will help answer any questions you may have. If you only read one line of this entire post, read this: CakePHP 1.3 != Cake3.
Basically, PHP 5.3 support is being worked into the 1.3 series of the framework but not the 1.2 versions. Currently, though, the 1.3 branch isn't considered stable. There's also a distinction made between the CakePHP 2.0 project and the CakePHP 3.0 project.
