You can order both the ebook only or a combo of the ebook plus the print version directly from Manning.
On PHP-Coding-Practices.com, Tim Koschuetzki has posted a new tutorial that just might save your life - well, at least the life of your CakePHP application - using table migrations.
Migrations are a wonderful technique to keep your database in sync with your code. When working on a project as a team, migrations can save your life. Please join me and get a quick introduction to migrations in CakePHP and become a happier coder.
He starts by explaining what migrations are (yml files that contain database construction/destruction information), how to execute them in your application, and how to construct your own.
Continuing on with their look at using Tidy in PHP5 applications, DevShed has posted this second part of the series, a look a parsing document nodes with the help of the Tidy library.
In this second article of the series I’m going to discuss how to extract different sections of a specific (X)HTML document (called file nodes) by using the capabilities provided by some additional functions included with this library.
They start by pulling the document into a Tidy instance and formating it a bit before moving on. Following this, they work with a few of the methods Tidy has to offer to pull information from the parsed document - tidy_get_html, tidy_get_head, tidy_get_body and tidy_get_output.
On the JSLabs blog today, there’s a (short) new tutorial showing an alternate method to creating a Zip archive in PHP (rather than with the zip extension).
He illustrates the creation of simple archive that pulls in a test file from a given path. This is then pushed into the zip archive and packed down and exported. He also notes the different compression levels that it can be created with - no compression, bzipped and gzipped.
You can download the library here.
