Projects :: The CakePHP Herald I don’t remember the exact day when I started using a todo list in a serious way. It definitely happened at work, but I can’t remember when exactly. The point is that, once I started working (and getting paid for what I love doing – writing), I slowly turned into a real productivity freak. I write everything down. I am not a paper person.

Actually, it was pretty straight forward, but I thought I'd take a few moments to outline step by step how I did it. Most of the inspiration (and a lot of blatant stealing) is taken from this post about RSS on the Code Igniter forums. <? An important thing to notice about the feed controller is that it sends a content-type along with it that indicates its a news feed - "application/rss+xml". function getRecentPosts (){ $this->db->orderby('post_date', 'desc'); $this->db->where('post_visible', 1); $this->db->limit(10); return $this->db->get('posts');} You'll notice reference to 'post_visible' in there. <? <dc:rights>Copyright <? <? <title><? <description><!

50 Extremely Useful PHP Tools | Developer's Toolbox Advertisement By Jacob Gube PHP is one of the most widely used open-source server-side scripting languages that exist today. With over 20 million indexed domains using PHP, including major websites like Facebook, Digg and WordPress, there are good reasons why many Web developers prefer it to other server-side scripting languages, such as Python and Ruby. PHP is faster (updated), and it is the most used scripting language in practice; it has detailed documentation, a huge community, numerous ready-to-use scripts and well-supported frameworks; and most importantly, it’s much easier to get started with PHP than with other scripting languages (Python, for example). This post presents 50 useful PHP tools that can significantly improve your programming workflow.

Introduction to Ajax Prototype enables you to deal with Ajax calls in a very easy and fun way that is also safe (cross-browser). Besides simple requests, this module also deals in a smart way with JavaScript code returned from a server and provides helper classes for polling. Ajax functionality is contained in the global Ajax object. The transport for Ajax requests is XmlHttpRequest, with browser differences safely abstracted from the user. Actual requests are made by creating instances of the Ajax.Request object. The first parameter is the URL of the request; the second is the options hash. Remember that for security reasons (i.e., preventing cross-site scripting attacks), Ajax requests can only be made to URLs of the same protocol, host and port of the page containing the Ajax request. Ajax response callbacks Ajax requests are by default asynchronous, which means you must have callbacks that will handle the data from a response. You can specify both callbacks, one or none - it's up to you. Global responders
RosSoft Simple Optimization for PHP and MySQL Saturday April 29 2006 03:23 Here is a list of a few very simple tips for optimizing your php/mysql applications. Keep these in mind while developing. MySQL MySQL is interpreted from right to left so you should put the most significant limiters as far to the right as possible. If possible it's of course always better to generate static html pages every time something is updated or as often as an update might be relevant instead of querying the database every time.
