PHP Developer - February 1st, 2008
On the PHPClasses.org website there’s a new entry covering, among other things, one handy feature PHP includes to let developers read and write their data more flexibly - streams.
This article explains what are stream handlers and how they simplify PHP developers lives by allowing PHP applications to easily read and write data from containers, like remote Web pages or e-mail messages, as if they were files. […] The article also presents more examples of cool stream handlers classes submitted to the PHPClasses site by several authors.
He describes the abstraction that the streams interface allows, how they can make your life easier, a real-life example of streams in action (working with POP3) and some of the classes that have been contributed to PHPClasses.org that use them.

Rob Thompson has posted about some simple benchmarking he did comparing the speed of a series of “if” statements versus one “switch” with multiple cases.
I got curious about which is actually more efficient at matching a random integer with a set of conditionals. So, I setup a script to create a set of large scripts to test the speed of these different constructs. Using the ‘time’ command, I measured the speed at which the condition could match a random number.
His results found that the switch statement is generally more than 2 times as fast at matching a simple integer. His tests, however, didn’t go through much more than this simple test. It’d be interesting to see what it would do with something more complex (like longer strings or handling the result of an evaluation inside the definition of the switch().

Frank Kleine has announced on the Stubbles blog that the latest version of the framework, Stubbles 0.5.0 has been released.
A last day of a month - time to release a new Stubbles version. The release does not feature that much new features, we focused mainly on infrastructure and code quality improvements. The most important change of course is the change of the package separator.
Instead of the dots they’ve gone with the more standard double-colon that PHP already uses. There were also code quality improvements and a move away from SimpleTest out to the popular PHPUnit unit testing package.
You can download this new package from the Stubbles project site.
