Double quotes in INI files loaded with parse_ini_file
Posted on March 1st, 2010 No commentsWriting a bit of PHP tonight and found that if you use parse_ini_file to load an INI file in PHP, there is a slightly hacky way of having double quotes in strings. For example, I tried these: somevalue = "This " "string" " has quotes" somevalue = "This " string " has quotes" But none of them worked! Turns out a quick look at the PHP manual reveals a simple (but a bit hacky) solution to this is to define a constant e.g. QUOTE to be “, and use that in the INI string

Microsoft Browser Choice Update
Posted on February 24th, 2010 No commentsSo the “Microsoft Browser Choice Screen Update For EEA Users” has arrived in my list of potential updates. Interestingly though, Microsoft have not selected this update by default. That might put a dampener on Opera’s big day…

Question: How does source control work in a non-distributed environment?
Posted on February 5th, 2010 No commentsAt our company we currently all work on one shared network drive. The source code is not under any kind of source control, which for me is a big no-no. I’d love to be able to set up SVN and us all work of separate repositories and just commit back to a trunk or branch, but our tech manager doesn’t agree.

Very Exciting – HipHop by Facebook
Posted on February 2nd, 2010 No commentsWell this evening Facebook have revealed what PHP developers globally have been speculating about and revealed their big secret . And boy, this could really change the landscape of PHP as we know it. I’m a great fan of compiling PHP for one reason or another, but I’ve never seen it reliably work.

MySQL gotcha when using non-compulsory foreign keys
Posted on January 27th, 2010 No commentsI’m just writing a query at the moment that filters out test records from a database. These records have a foreign-keyed value that identifies test apps, e.g. a table with: id name 1 TEST 2 ANOTHER_VALUE 3 SOMETHING_ELSE This is joined onto the main data table, sensibly with a query like this: SELECT * FROM the_data LEFT JOIN the_values ON the_data.some_value = the_values.id WHERE the_values.name != 'TEST' The gotcha is however, that this doesn’t work as you’d expect
