Zend debugger is basically the server side component that is used by Zend Studio. You need this to do your remote debugging!! Normally you’d find this included in an installation of Zend Core or Zend Platform. However we aren’t using Zend’s apache php bundle so this little gem has to be loaded… It’s hard to [...]

Zend debugger – without Zend Core/Zend Platform
Posted: 16th December 2007 by Grant Perry in Apache, PHP1
My problem is I and working on a web interface which runs some limit shell command. Some of these normally require root access… And I don’t want to do something silly like force apache to run as root now do I? Provided you have sudo installed (like most distro’s) the following is a good solution [...]
My goal was more complex than what’s described here in, but I wanted to share a simple function for returning the links in some HTML (now that I know what I’m doing)… Hopefully someone finds this useful, it was a common question in forums I noticed.

Currently Zend_Auth won’t work if you’re using a Micrsoft SQL Server database for storing your account credentials. This is because of a bug in the \Zend\Auth\Adapter\DbTable.php specifically in the authenticate() function. The SQL Statement it generates is not MS SQL friendly: SELECT "users".*, "credential" = ‘mypass’ AS zend_auth_credential_match FROM "users" WHERE ("identity" = ‘me’) Consequently [...]
Buzzzzzz on frameworks and libraries
Posted: 24th August 2007 by Grant Perry in Javascript / AJAX, PHP, Usability, Zend FrameworkThere’s a lot of buzz with Frameworks and Libraries these days, and rightly so, without them some projects I’ve worked on would still be under construction!!! Developing with frameworks and libraries will save you time in both development and testing. The abundance of functionality some provide often mean you’ll end up with a better end [...]
