php library

In a recent post to his blog Jeremy Cook has a tutorial about using the Countable interface (part of the SPL) in your objects to make them play nicely with functions like count.

A few more details about my personal programming projects during the Horde Hackathon 2011 in Boston last weekend.

There's also some insight into how timezones work in Horde and a new PHP library for timezone support that might be interesting for other projects too.

I don’t know about you, but for me building html Forms and styling html Forms are maybe the most boring things in web development.

It’s repetitive and takes a lot of time to do things correctly.

That’s why tools like Twitter’s Bootstrap and PEAR’s html_QuickForm2 can help with this part of our job.

On the SitePoint PHP blog today there's a new post from Craig Buckler looking (quickly) at a handy feature of the Standard PHP Library (SPL) that can help make working with objects and arrays simpler - object iterators.

In my Beyond Frameworks talk, I explained how a component-based architecture can help answer some of the important (i.e. expensive!) questions you might face when creating long-lived apps that rely on a PHP framework.

In this series of blog posts, I’m going to look at how to go about creating and working with components.

The January 2011 issue of php|architect Magazine includes an article by me on a subject that I’ve spoken and written about on several occasions now, features of the Standard PHP Library (SPL) introduced in PHP 5.3.

New on the Web Builder Zone today, there's an article about DateTime in PHP5 from Giorgio Sironi introducing you to this very handy built-in feature.

This post is a quick walkthrough of implementing Twitter OAuth, complete with a working demo.

A big topic in the world of PHP recently has been interoperability between libraries. With the release of PHP 5.3 and the introduction of namespaces some discussion of new standards around the use of namespaces to promote the interoperability of autoloader implementations has started.
