VMWare Server sucks!
Posted on July 8th, 2010 No commentsAt the office we use VMWare Server on a couple of different systems to run “appliance” based applications, the problem is every few months the Web interface suddenly screws up and all we get is 503 errors when attempting to login. I’ve searched high and low for the cause and solution to fix it, as far I can tell its occurs because the server randomly deletes or corrupts some important Tomcat related content. Then the only solution I’ve found to fixing this is completely uninstall VMWare Server, remove all the licenses, reboot the system and then re-install VMWare server.

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.

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.

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.

Changing Project Types in Eclipse
Posted on May 27th, 2009 No commentsIf you created a project in Eclipse, but you created a regular “Project” instead of a particular project type (in my case, a “PHP Project” then there is a fairly easy way of fixing it. I had to do this to make a particular project work in the PHP Explorer (which for some reason worked fine on Windows version of Eclipse, but not my version…) Create a new project of the type you want to convert your existing project to

Linking CSS on Zend Framework, the XHTML Valid way
Posted on April 10th, 2009 No commentsI’ve been getting to know Zend Framework , and despite it being awesome so far, there’s a few quirks I just don’t understand… maybe I missed something… Anyway, David Cooper posted a quick howto on adding CSS to a Zend Framework page , which works and is all well and good, but there was a problem. The code that Zend Framework spits out was not XHTML valid

Retirement Planning
Posted on March 11th, 2009 No commentsPlanning for your retirement and old age can be a very worth while exercise, yet most people leave the task until way too late in life. Retirement may seem a long way off now, but what will you do if you reach retirement age and find you have no means to support yourself or your loved ones over the 20 or 30 years that follow leaving your job?

RE: On $_GET and $_POST
Posted on February 5th, 2009 No commentsDanish blogger Troels Knak-Nielsen wrote an interesting article about the PHP superglobals $_GET and $_POST today, bemoaning the fact they’re not technically named correctly. Reading through it, he makes a good point: The current names are confusing and obscures the intention of HTTP; More descriptive names would have been $_QUERY instead of $_GET and $_FORM instead of $_POST What’s he’s saying in a nutshell that if you send an HTTP POST request, such as: POST /submit.php?param=HelloWorld HTTP/1.1 Host: asgrim.com Content-Length: 29 name=James&url=www.asgrim.com Then $_POST["name"] is “James”, $_POST["url"] is “www.asgrim.com”, but despite the form being submitted as POST, $_GET["param"] is HelloWorld. Technically, yes - he’s right
