  • Notable PHP package: PHP AJAX Table (1 day ago)

    Posted on: 2016-07-06
    Summary: AJAX is frequently used to update parts of Web pages without reloading the whole page. However, often the updates require sending the whole HTML for the parts of the page to be replaced.

    This class follows a more efficient approach for updating listings of tables. Instead of sending over the whole HTML of a table, it just sends the data of the cells to be updated using JSON.

    This way it sends much less information to the browser to perform updates to tables and the whole HTML of the table is much larger, thus making AJAX based updates faster.

  • How to Quickly Tell If Your Software Product Idea Will Be Successful (3 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-07-04
    Summary: One of the main reasons why developers give up on their dreams of creating their own software product business is because they fear to spend a lot of time developing a product and after many months of work they realize that product is not what the customers want to pay for. This is very frustrating.

    Fortunately there are methods to evaluate the potential of a product idea even before you write a single line of code. These methods can dramatically help developers to become more successful in their software product business.

    Watch this short video to learn about one simple method that allows you to quickly evaluate your software product ideas, so you can discard the bad ones and only invest on those that have great potential of interest from paying customers.
  • Notable PHP package: Random Access File (7 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-06-30
    Summary: Database management systems use special techniques to find records of data very quickly.

    One of those techniques is to make each record of data in table have a fixed length, even when some record fields have a variable length.

    This way, to read or write specific records in a table, it is just a matter of knowing the record position and multiplying by the length of each record.

    This class takes advantage of this technique to efficiently perform several types of operations to manipulate records of data in table files.

    Those operations include not only reading and writing records, but also moving records to different positions or even truncate the table files to make them smaller.

    Summary: Zephir is a statically typed language derived from PHP that can be compiled into native PHP extensions which can run along with PHP code based on the Zend Engine.

    This HandlerSocket Client package is the first Zephir based package to be published in the PHP Classes site.

  • 7 Reasons Why Developers Need to Create their Own Software Product Businesses (18 days ago)

    Posted on: 2016-06-19
    Summary: Many developers are not happy with working for other companies. They do not have much autonomy to work on projects they want, they cannot work from home, they cannot work any time they want, and in the end they get paid a limited amount of money.

    The alternative for these unhappy developers is to create their own software products and sell them to many customers. Unfortunately many developers do not know how to get started and become successful.

    The good news is that this is the first of series of short videos that will teach developers all they need to know to create their own businesses developing products that the customers really want and will pay for.

    Watch this short video to learn about why creating your own products is the right step to be a happier developer, as well how you can attend a free online workshop that will teach the essential steps to achieve that goal.
  • Notable PHP package: Axync (21 days ago)

    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.

  • Built-in Protection Against CSRF Security Attacks in PHP 7.1 - Lately in PHP podcast episode 72 (22 days ago)

    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.

  • Fast Debugging of PHP Code Using PHPEd Part 3: Remote Debugging and Remote Projects (27 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 (28 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.

    Read this article to learn more details about how this notable PHP package works.
