WebHostingHero Blog: A Look at the Original PHP Developers
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:44:23 -0500
On the WebHostingHero blog today there's a new post going back to the roots of the PHP language and some of the original contributors like Rasmus Lerdorf, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans. When PHP began in 1995, it represented a fork on common object oriented programming languages. Designed to help provide scripting for the web, the language took on a life of its own as it became one of the primary web development standards. Today, PHP is used by millions worldwide and powers a majority of sites. They talk about how some of the original developers are active in helping to better the languages (directly and indirectly) and how the advocacy of the community has helped it grow even stronger over the years. There's also mini-spotlights on each of the three mentioned above.
IBM developerWorks: Build a web-based notification tool with XMPP
Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:57:50 -0500
On the IBM developerWorks site there's a recent tutorial about using PHP and Javascript with the XMPP to create a small web-based notification tool (called Pingstream). Real-time web applications are networked applications, with web-based user interfaces, that display Internet information as soon as it's published. Examples include social news aggregators and monitoring tools that continually update themselves with data from an external source. In this tutorial, you will create Pingstream, a small notification tool that uses PHP and JavaScript to communicate over the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), a set of XML technologies designed to support presence and real-time-communications functionality. You'll need to already have the usual software installed - PHP, Apache and MySQL - as well as a few others: Openfire, jQuery, Strophe, XMPPHP and LastRSS. They introduce some of the concepts behind real-time messaging, the XAMPP protocol and, of course the code to show how to create their service.

Default rendered error file and hash to nice string how to
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:09:55 UT
Hi, When rails raises an exception which file (view?) gets rendered and outputs in the browser the backtrace, request, parameters, etc. I'm asking that because I'd like to know if Rails provides an easy way to convert a hash to a readable string, eg: "{:key => 'value'}" instead of yukky #to_s which gives "keyvalue".
