PHP Developer - November 27th, 2006
Felix Geisendorfer has an interesting little solution posted to his blog today for those wanting to sync a Subversion repository over to a remote FTP folder without having to mess with external software (well, besides CakePHP, that is).
As the headline says, this time it’s going to be my SVN/FTP Deployment Task written for the new Bake in CakePHP 1.2. It will not work with the Cake 1.1.x.x branch, and I currently do not have time to explain the procedure to work around this.
The key, in fact, is the new Bake that’s included with this new version. When combined with the code it will push the contents of the directory out to the remote server. There’s even some included code to make a pseudo-install to your remote server.

The Zend Developer Zone has posted part two in their look at developing an Ajax and PHP chat client. They build on part one and bring some new guests to the party - Prototype and Scriptaculous.
For this chat application we’ll be using two popular javascript libraries: Prototype and Scriptaculous. Prototype is a Javascript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. Using Scriptaculous, complex effects like sliders, drag and drop and similar features can be implemented quite easily without much effort.
They assume that you can get Prototype and Scriptaculous set up yourself and move quickly on to the HTML for the chat client interface. Some CSS is included to make things a bit more attractive, and they show how to change the IndexController and include the needed Javascript files to make the interface work. Keep an eye out for the next tutorial where it’s back to the server side of things…

On the “Blond R” blog, there’s a first posting that shares some of the knowledge that the author has gained from working to get IIS7 installed with MySQL and PHP 5.
As all of us are talking about the new coming Windows Vista, I decided to dedicate my first post to guide you all on how to setup IIS 7 along with MySQL and PHP 5.
He hadn’t found a tutorial that covered getting all three working well together, so decided to create his own - complete with screen shots for each step of the way. First, IIS is set up, then PHP, then, finally, the MySQL installation is completed and all three are tied together. All downloads are linked as well to make it even easier to set your system up.

Sandro Groganz has a quick note posted on his blog about the online availability of the text of his article “PHP 5 Enterprise Edition”.
I just found that my article entitled “PHP 5 Enterprise Edition” is now available online. It has initially been published in the International PHP Magazine.
He quotes a bit from the introduction to give you an idea of what the article’s about, but defers the rest of the article to the International PHP Magazine website. There’s lots of good content, screenshots, layouts and plenty of related links as well.
