Marcus Börger and myself will be presenting a workshop at LinuxTag this July demonstrating our PHP bindings for SQLite and some of the nice features we've cooked up.
I've given the PHP application installer thingy a more formal home.
And as suggested by that anonymous commenter, I think I might well apply for that php|a grant. :-)
After looking at jBlog and a number of other PHP applications, I realized that they are all trying to do the same things during installation, some more competent than others.
Sooo... why isn't there a tool, like InstallShield or MSI as seen on win32, for packaging and managing the tricky installation and initial configuration of PHP (web) applications?
Well, I'm working on one now :-)
I've finally succumbed to setting up a blog.Considering my already massively busy schedule, only time will tell if this leads anywhere...
This is part of an excercise in writing a (perhaps the definitive) PHP based blogger. Hopefully, Jannis won't be too annoyed at the posse of PHP developers that seem have taken over his project.
I've been lucky enough to have been paid to do some work on the PHP/PECL soap extension over the last couple of days.
I'd like to think that it is a hell of a lot better now than it was when I started - it did segfault when you tried just about anything, and now you can actually use it. Less memory leaks, more fun.
Or something like that.
