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.

Handling CType Data With SimpleXML in PHP
Posted on January 15th, 2010 No commentsIf you're new to SimpleXML then the output and representation of complex XML data produced by the library can be daunting and sometimes confusing, but once you're used to it, SimpleXML is a massively useful tool for processing XML information. When debugging other people's implementations of simpleXML however, one of the biggest issues I come across time and again is the apparent loss of CType data from the processed feed. Luckily this is very easily remedied, but not well documented so here's how to deal with it.

cURL Tips – HTTPS requests
Posted on December 15th, 2009 No commentsToo many times have I seen this in cURL clients: curl_setopt ( $ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST , false ) ; curl_setopt ( $ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER , false ) ; Why is this bad? You leave yourself totally open to man-in-the-middle attacks, and makes SSL virtually pointless. Sure the data passed between the two servers would still be encrypted, but there is no way of verifying the server you’re talking to is the server you WANT to be talking to! My recommendation is that you verify the server is genuine by checking against the genuine CA certificate in PEM format.

Dixons – UR DOIN IT WRONG
Posted on November 24th, 2009 No commentsToday when ordering a webcam for my parents, the Dixons website really got my back up. Firstly the page died and never gave me a reference number.

ctype_digit rtfm!
Posted on October 23rd, 2009 No commentsFor the last 5-10 minutes I've been wondering why a check on a variable which should be valid has been returning false. The check is ctype_digit, which returns true if all characters in a string are digits.

Toys In Breakfast Cereals…
Posted on September 28th, 2009 No commentsI realised the other day that breakfast cereals no longer contain toys. The popular opinion seems to be either health & safety, or cutting back on costs. I’d probably go with the former as some numpty parent probably tried to sue some cereal maker for trying to bring a bit of joy into a child’s life… Anyway, I sent messages to Kellogg’s and Nestlé via their websites, and I actually got a (rubbish) response from Nestlé’s consumer relations department… Dear James We have taken the decision to move away from offering promotions that directly appeal to children.

Filling In Forms – Increasing Your Form Conversion
Posted on September 1st, 2009 No commentsThis kind of lazy form creation really annoys me. This company is trying to make users jump through hoops just so their form developers don’t have to bother reformatting the data into an acceptable format to them. It is absolutely critical when developing a form that must convert well to accept pretty much anything in the form.
