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.

Lookin’ Good: Two Practise ZCE Tests Passed
Posted on August 25th, 2009 No commentsAs some of you may know, back in March/April time, I started revising for my Zend PHP5 Certification, but that was pretty much put on hold when we had a baby… now I’m revising again and after having revised a couple of topics I retook the test. As you can see, I passed it “with flying colours” this time, but still have improvement to do with Streams and Design patterns… Comparing with my last test: 2 categories remained the same; Database access Web features) 4 categories improved; PHP 4/5 Differences (was FAIL) Security (was PASS) String Manipulation and Regular Expressions (was PASS) Functions (was PASS) 2 categories declined; Streams and Network Programming (was PASS) Design (was EXCELLENT) [eep - not so good that!] I think overall however, these statistics shouldn’t be examined too much – there are some questions I can guess and don’t demonstrate that I truly *know* some topics, so I’m going to cover off a few categories I don’t feel to confident on anyway – but then the practise tests are just indicators, and not meant to represent the final exam… we’ll see!

Type Hinting Patch for PHP 5.3
Posted on July 2nd, 2009 No commentsThe beauty of PHP is that people can modify it to work however they want due to it’s open sourced nature… If something annoys you about the programming language itself, you can just go ahead and change it. The upside to that is that you get the features you think are missing in PHP. The downside is that your code can potentially become incompatible with everyone else, and your code becomes quite unportable.

Advanced Syntax-Hilighting Online Code Editors – A Wordpress IDE?
Posted on July 2nd, 2008 No commentsWhen I write plugins for wordpress I like to do it on a test blog in a live environment. Maybe not the best idea, but it's how I like to do it, and it also flags up any weird and wonderful restrictions to the development of the plugin as a result of my hosting company's security policy
