And all I can say is holy shit, it’s good. The setup was simple and after a few idiotic mistakes on my [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2011/12/22/the-switch-apache-mod_php-to-nginx-php-fpm/feed/ 0 http://darrylclarke.com/2010/11/27/just-a-log/ http://darrylclarke.com/2010/11/27/just-a-log/#comments Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:57:02 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=576 Applications, especially ones that run over and over again with zero persistancy (of the application itself) like a web app needs logging. It’s important to be able to log different types of messages to different places and fortunately Zend_Log is so extensible that it can log to almost anything you can think of.

(And for the record both Queueing and Queuing are valid spellings depending on your locale) The concept is fairly straight forward. Normally when a web application runs, it runs in a linear pattern. It starts, [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2010/11/18/queueing-with-zend-queue-and-memcacheq/feed/ 2 http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/17/tell-your-redirector-how-to-do-its-job/ http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/17/tell-your-redirector-how-to-do-its-job/#comments Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:50:14 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=569 There’s a big difference between a redirect that uses a 301 and a 302 code on a website. If you don’t know the difference, you should find out. 301 says “This stuff has moved permanently and you shouldn’t come here anymore.” 302 says “You just need to go here, but this place will still answer [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/17/tell-your-redirector-how-to-do-its-job/feed/ 0 http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/06/database-profiling-with-zend-db-profiler-firebug/ http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/06/database-profiling-with-zend-db-profiler-firebug/#comments Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:18:35 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=556 I don’t know why I haven’t been using this for ages. But Zend’s DB Profiler is fun. Only to be used in development so you can see what your database is doing and how fast/slow it’s doing it. Enable it in your application’s config.ini (or .xml) [development] db.profiler.enabled = true db.profiler.class   = "Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug" And as [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2010/10/06/database-profiling-with-zend-db-profiler-firebug/feed/ 0 http://darrylclarke.com/2010/09/26/the-quickest-way-to-tweet-via-zend-frameworks-twitter-service/ http://darrylclarke.com/2010/09/26/the-quickest-way-to-tweet-via-zend-frameworks-twitter-service/#comments Sun, 26 Sep 2010 18:01:46 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=545 This is a quick and dirty method.  It assumes a couple of things. You’ve already created your ‘app’ on twitter. You’ve already gotten your personal OAuth tokens from twitter. First you need to setup your tokens; $token = new Zend_Oauth_Token_Access(); $token->setToken("YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN")       ->setTokenSecret("YOUR_PERSONAL_SECRET"); Second, you need to setup the Zend_Service_Twitter using your access token as [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2010/09/26/the-quickest-way-to-tweet-via-zend-frameworks-twitter-service/feed/ 0 http://darrylclarke.com/2010/03/30/multiple-paths-for-zend_layout-modules-based-layouts/ http://darrylclarke.com/2010/03/30/multiple-paths-for-zend_layout-modules-based-layouts/#comments Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:44:28 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=298 There was some chatter about using module based layouts with Zend_Layout on freenode, so I thought I’d explore the idea a bit more.  There was this particular idea to use a plugin and a bit of application.ini/xml settings to configure it all.  But I’m a bit old school with my Zend Framework apps.

It’s still missing a lot of method calls for Flickr and Vimeo, but the guts are there and the remaining methods will be done in priority when I need them.  Right now it supports automatic caching and logging via simple options. At some point I’ll probably put [...]]]> http://darrylclarke.com/2009/07/12/all-i-need-is-rest-vimeo-flickr-zend-and-more/feed/ 0 http://darrylclarke.com/2009/06/05/php-java-bridge-vs-zend-platform-java-bridge/ http://darrylclarke.com/2009/06/05/php-java-bridge-vs-zend-platform-java-bridge/#comments Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:50:56 +0000 Darryl Clarke http://darrylclarke.com/?p=194 A long time ago I posted some instructions on installing PHP/Java Bridge on Ubuntu and that post is getting quite a few reads, so I figured I’d post a follow up on how it was used.

There’s a good listing of what’s new over here and really on the surface it doesn’t look like much.
