Posted on: 2016-06-16 Summary: Cooperative multitasking is a way to execute multiple tasks concurrently.
Only one task runs at each moment but it gives the turn to the next task in the list of concurrent tasks, for instance when it needs to wait for some I/O operation to complete, like accesses to files, databases, or network connections.
This class implements a manager for cooperative multitasking in pure PHP.
It takes advantage of generators introduced in PHP 5.5 to let one task decide when it can give the control to the next task.

Posted on: 2016-06-15 Summary: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) are a type of security attacks that may cause user accounts to be abused, so attackers can make users perform actions inadvertently in a vulnerable site and cause serious problems to the users and the sites.
There is a new proposal for PHP 7.1 to provide built-in semi-automatic protection against CSRF attacks, so it will be easier for PHP developers to protect the sites they develop against this type of exploit.
That was one of the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Arturs Sosins in the episode 72 of the Lately in PHP podcast hangout.
They also talked about other proposals for PHP 7.1, as well the election of two release managers that will take care of the steps necessary to release PHP 7.1 later this year on the planned schedule.
This article includes a transcript of the podcast summary.
Listen to the podcast, or watch the hangout video, or read the summary transcript to learn more about these interesting PHP topics.Using Microsoft Visual Studio as PHP IDE with the PHP Tools extension: Part 3 Debugging (19 days ago)

Posted on: 2016-06-10 Summary: IDEs are good to help debugging your code before it goes to production, but sometimes you need to find bugs in your code that cause problems and can only be observed in production. This is one case on which remote debugging is necessary.
IDEs like PHPEd support remote debugging. You do not need to download the project files from the production server to debug your project remotely. Thanks to the remote projects feature of PHPEd, it can retrieve only the server files that you need to debug so you can start debugging remote projects very quickly.
Read this article to learn how to setup and use PHPEd to debug remote projects running in production server for instance.Notable PHP package: PHP Nuclear Reactor (21 days ago)
Posted on: 2016-06-09 Summary: Asynchronous programming is a way to create programs that can execute multiple parallel tasks faster in the same process by executing code while other parts if the programs wait for I/O operations to finish, like database accesses, file accesses, network accesses, etc..
ReactPHP is a low level library similar to JavaScript Node.js that can be used to implement asynchronous programming in PHP, so you can write PHP code that can efficiently access multiple files, databases, or network computers in parallel, making everything faster.
The PHP Nuclear Reactor is library based on PIMF micro-framework that implements the MVC design pattern on top of ReactPHP.
This way you can continue to write PHP MVC components the way you are used to do, and still work well in an asynchronous programming environment based on ReactPHP.

Posted on: 2016-06-06 Summary: Many Web sites are accessed by users from around the world, each one in at a different time zone.
Sometimes it is necessary to schedule a event or otherwise tell the time when something important is going to happen at a specific time of the day at the user's location.
Since the time of the day at the users location will be different according to the user time zone, it is necessary to know the time zone on which the location of the users are.
This class can solve that problem using the user's geographic coordinates: latitude and longitude.
These coordinates can usually be determined from the IP address of the computer the user is using to access the site, using services like IP to location.
This way it is possible to determine the time where the user is located, departing from the IP address and using this class to determine the time zone from the IP address location.
