Lorna Mitchell: Compiling PHP Extensions


Lorna Mitchell has posted a quick guide to compiling PECL extensions to her site today. This is for those users on unix-based systems that might need to manually compile with some custom options (or may be working on your own extension and may just need to test it).



There are lots of reasons why you might like to compile your own PHP extensions. [...] I haven't seen a really approachable guide anywhere, we tend to speak of extensions in hushed tones, and actually it isn't particularly tricky so here is my quick how-to guide.


The process is relatively simple for those familiar with the command line and the steps involved in compiling software. There's some special PHP-only steps you'll have to take before compiling the code to make sure it's ready to be a PHP extension. Then it's up to the usual configure+make_make install to ensure the .so file is correctly generated.

Community News: Confoo Conference Call for Papers Opens


The Confoo conference has officially announced the opening of their Call for Papers for their 2015 event (happening in mid-February). The conference is multi-disciplinary and covers a wide range of topics including: .NET, PHP, Databases, Mobile, UX and Security.



We are looking for the best speakers, willing to share their experience and their skills with developers and managers. [...] You may present in English or in French. If you can present in either language, simply add a note when submitting. Presentations are 35 minutes + 10 minutes for questions.


The call for papers will only be open until September 2nd (less than a month) so be sure to submit early and submit often. It's recommended that you submit more than one session too. You can find out more about the conference - or just pick up tickets of your own - on the main conference website.

Matthew Weier O'Phinney: Deployment with Zend Server (Part 2 of 8)


Matthew Weier O'Phinney has posted the second part of his series with some tips around application deployment with Zend Server. In this latest post he shares his second tip related to recurring jobs.



This is the second in a series of eight posts detailing tips on deploying to Zend Server.The previous post in the series detailed getting started with Zend Server on the AWS marketplace and using zf-deploy to create ZPK packages to deploy to Zend Server. Today, I'm looking at how to created scheduled/recurring jobs using Zend Server's Job Queue; think of this as application-level cronjobs.


Instead of running the jobs as cron tasks (which may or may not be installed if there's multiple servers), he opts for a software-based approach. He walks you through the use of the Zend Server Job Queue to create a simple reoccurring execution to run a PHP script at a certain time. He includes some code examples with one showing just the scheduling of a job and the other showing how to detach previous jobs and add only the new ones that weren't scheduled before.
