If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!When I first started this experiment I planned on using a custom php framework.

Today I got into a wonderful debate about php errors.
I myself prefer to have the system handle the suppression of errors at system init (turn error displaying to off), and only use error suppression (@function) when needed.

So after years of partial frameworks, and various concepts, I’ve finally started my framework.
First off there is NO windows support. I’m sure that’s not the best way to go, but I can’t think of one reason to host a php app on windows. As noted windows isn’t supported, but I’m working on a linux […]

just a quick tip for anyone using .inc files via apache.

After thinking I was merely going crazy I’ve found out why php doesn’t seem to support all image functions. Ubuntu’s php5-gd package uses an older version of gd. So uninstall php, and build from source

Jim Plush has written a pretty decent overview of php’s bitwise functions. My only complaint is I wish he’d also used even numbers so readers could understand flag systems, but you can’t win them all
As an added bonus, he’s included a comic that explains binary counting in a way you’ll never forget ( If only […]
