The official CakePHP API mantains a list of deprecated stuffs in version 1.2 of the framework. You will definately need this one if you will be upgrading your application from v.1.1 to 1.2 in the future.
Update
Unfortunately, the link to the document http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/deprecated.html seems to be now broken. If you happen to know a seperate source, please let me know by writing a comment below, thanks.
So I’ve been working with CakePHP lately and wonder if there’s any way to get one of my favorite PHP IDE, Zend Studio, to work with it. I was particularly interested in the “automatic code completion” functionality that came with Zend Studio, and thought there should be some way to get CakePHP’s library into that list. [Read more…]
Subversion is an open source version control system that is highly used by corporate and the open source communities such as wordpress, drupal, joomla just to name a few. It was started to complement the inefficiencies of CVS (another popular open source version control system) and had since gain a fair amount of adopters. The system is fairly easy to use and understand and there’s also free documentation available for download. [Read more…]
I wonder if this is one of the biggest project that will go down in history for having an application being rewritten from Ruby to PHP. Gravatar actually just did that. So far, I’ve only came across the reverse whereby developers jumps to Ruby on Rails and left PHP in the wild. I know, I know, RoR is a framework and PHP by itself is web scripting language and I’m not comparing apples to apples here bla bla bla. Oh well, anyway. [Read more…]

Script Debugging in Internet Explorer is turned off by default. You can enable it by going to:
For Windows XP SP1 and Previous Versions
Tools -> Internet Options… -> Advanced -> Disable Script Debugging

On Windows XPS P2 and beyond, the option has been split to two
Tools->Internet Options…->Advanced->Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)
Tools->Internet Options…->Advanced->Disable Script Debugging (Other)
Once enabled, you will get a new menu under “View > Script debugger” which can help you to debug your scripts.

Say goodbye to the extra tab that you have always kept open each time when you are working with Google Docs. gDocsBar is a sidebar extension for Firefox, a perfect companion for Google Docs that features a search-as-you-type box to find your documents, a drag-and-drop field to upload files from your desktop or the Web, and can filter by title, date, and author. You can also browse documents by type, create new documents from a template, and easily save clippings from favorite Web sites. The handy time-saver has something for power users, too, like smart folders that represent a combo of filtering and search, and quickly launching a document on the source list by right-clicking. The extension can be downloaded from the author site here

I’ve been using this code for quite a long time and it has been working for me most of the time. What it does is that it reads a directory (“uploads” in this example) and store every sub-directories that it can find into an array $year[].
$dir = "uploads";
$yeardh = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($yeardir = readdir($yeardh)))
{
if ($yeardir != '.' and $yeardir != '..' and strtolower(substr($yeardir,strlen($yeardir)-3,3)) != '.db')
{
$year[] = $dir.'/'.$yeardir;
}
}
closedir($yeardh);
It was only recently that I tested and found out that it failed under “certain circumstances” showing the following error message.
Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in file.php on line xx
