Debugging PHP with Eclipse: an additional tip
This article is just a quick follow-up of the article Setting up a XDebug debugging environment for PHP / WAMP / Eclipse PDT.
In the previous article, we learned how to debug a PHP web application using Eclipse and XDebug.
However, in those tests, the browser used was the internal Eclipse browser. This is pretty good, but
if you have a pretty complex web application, with a lot of Javascript, you might want to test and
debug it directly in your browser.
My mails are being treated like spam! What should I do?
Lately, I've been working on the Butterflive website where users can subscribe. As part of this process, users are sent automated mails (to check if the mail address they provide is correct or not). Alas, my mails were filtered as Spam by my own mail server.
In this article, I'll describe step by step what I did to solve the problem, what was successful and what did not work as expected.
The environment
First, a quick word about the environment:
- Mails are sent in PHP, using the Zend_Mail component of the Zend framework
Installing APC op-code cache on Ubuntu 10.04
In this article, I will explain how to install the APC opcode cache in a few easy steps, on Ubuntu 10.04.
APC is an opcode cache (and more). When a PHP script is run, it is compiled by PHP internally, before executing it. PHP does not store the compiled result, therefore, next time the script is run, PHP will compile it again. APC is designed to store the result in its cache. This way, when PHP executes again a script, APC will serve the compiled script from the cache. PHP won't have to parse the script again, and it will save a lot of time.
First step: install PECL
Setting up a XDebug debugging environment for PHP / WAMP / Eclipse PDT
In this article, we will step through all the steps required to enable debugging on your PHP environment.
The setup we will use is: WAMP 2 with PHP 5.3, Eclipse Helios with PDT.
Setting up the development environment
Obviously, the first step is to install WAMP, then to install Eclipse Helios (use the Eclipse for PHP release version). I will assume in this article you have a basic understand of Wamp and Eclipse PDT.
Installing the PHP geolocalization extension on CentOS
Lately, I've had the need to install a geolocation database on a web server to localize (as closely as possible) a visitor based on its IP address.
For this, I've been using the MaxMind geolocation database. Although Maxmind is a commercial service, they provide a free database mapping IPs to countries.
Maxmind provides a PHP geoip extension enabling a very quick access to the GeoIp database.
In this blog article, I'll describe all the required steps to install the geoip extension on a PHP server, on a CentOS distribution.
Display transparent PNG images in IE6
Most browsers such as Firefox and Safari support for transparent PNG images. However, there are still numbers of IE6 users who could not take advantage of PNG image transparency.
After googling this problem, testing and comparing different solutions, I finally found an easy and efficient method.
The first step is adding a JavaScript function within the header of each page of HTML or the PHPTemplate file (in case you are a Drupal magician like me :D ).
<head> <script type="text/javascript"> // Correctif de l'affichage des images PNG dans IE5.5 et IE6

GET or POST? Best practices for choosing the HTTP method
Last night, I read a not so old post from Brandon Savage about why "every developer should write their own framework". Very interesting reading, especially since I love writing my own frameworks. But I could not imagine how right he could be.
