Matthew Turland’s Blog: How-To (and How-Not-To) on Web Scraping

birbal — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:52:33 +0000

Matthew Turland has a few things to say about web scraping (and recent articles covering it) on his blog today as an author of a previous article published in php|architect covering the same topic:

A friend of mine who shall remain nameless pointed a post out to me on the PHP DZone web site recently. Noting that the article’s content was misinformed at best and downright ignorant at worst, even when examining it sheerly from the author’s knowledge of PHP as a language, this friend asked that I set the author straight.

He mentions his comments on the post correcting the author on some points as well as a more “clued in” post on the xml.lt website talking about using PHP’s DOM functionality instead.

Vinu Thomas’ Blog: PHP Apps on Mobile using PAMP

birbal — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:52:27 +0000

Vinu Thomas talks about a platform on his blog today that can be used to create PHP applications to live on a S60 phone.

If you’d like to work on your favorite PHP apps on your S60 phones, here’s PAMP - Personal Apache, MySQL and PHP. This is implemented on the Symbian OS using Open C, which is a set of industry-standard POSIX and middleware C libraries for S60.

The PAMP system is pretty easy to install and guides can be found over on the dev.mobi website to help get you started. You can download the latest version of the project from its SourceForge website.

Make Me Pulse Blog: PHP6, Unicode and TextIterator features

birbal — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:52:19 +0000

On the Make Me Pulse blog, there’s a look at PHP6’s support of Unicode in the SPL (Standard PHP Library) TextIterator handler.

I’ve just install the last version of PHP6 dev and I’ve decided to test the famous new feature, the PHP Unicode Support. I will not explain new things about PHP6 or Unicode or TextIterator, it’s just my discoveries test on this features.

He steps through the process he followed - enabling Unicode support, testing various output methods (including just an echo and using the TextIterator) as well as some of the manipulation methods (next/first/current) that can be used to get certain characters out of a string.
