In another of the series of interviews over on the Zend Developer Zone, Cal Evans got a few minutes with QEDWiki developer Stuart Nicholas to talk about QEDWiki, his talk at this year’s Zend/PHP Conference and Expo, and merging J2EE and PHP.
Since QEDWiki is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while I can’t help but feel that his session at ZendCon is going to be cool too. I since I love cool, I decided to give Stuart a call to see if I could get a sneak preview.
There’s only the two questions but the answers are interesting. Cal asks about some of the contents of Stuart’s talk (the sneak peak) and some about the interoperability between PHP and J2EE that’s on the way.

DevShed starts up another series, a pair of tutorials seeking to help you create an extensible website engine in PHP 5. Basically, a slightly more complex setup than just pulling the content from a database into your application.
Over the course of this two-part series, I’ll walk you through the development of a highly extensible and “pluggable” website engine with PHP 5, which will allow you generate web pages on the fly based on a predefined (but simple) database structure.
They start things off by setting up the core of the system - the layout and structure of how the pages will flow. To help make this an easy task, they also create the simple template with links down the side to the different “pages”. Finally, they finish off this part of the series with the database structure and push some of the sample content in to give you an idea of how it’s all formatted.

Tobias Schlitt, on the heels of the “PHP Eats Rails for Breakfast” posting on Ohloh has helped Sebastian Bergmann get the eZ components project entered into their database for some tracking with some interesting results.
eZ components consists of 171,025 lines of code (including markup and code itself). If you subtract the XML, eZ components consist of 96,424 lines of pure PHP code (no docs included, if I got it correcltly), which is rather much in my eyes.
He gives other stats for the component framework including a price estimate for manhours put into the project and how much, on a per-developer basis, has been contributed to each (including things like a code to documentation ratio and total lines of code contributed).
