easy install and upgrade of zend framework with pear

pear, zend framework No Comments
There is a zend-framework package available by apt. But it is usually out-of-date. Anyway, if you don’t care (install zf in /usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php) :
$ sudo apt-get install zend-framework
Better is to install zf via zfcampus pear channel, i’ve been using it without problem for several months :
pear channel-discover pear.zfcampus.org
pear install zfcampus/zf
Reminder : logs to check in first place on linux

Daily Scrum : how to (not) waste your productivity
Feb 06
The daily scrum won’t go perfect every day. It’s an every day struggle beyond perfection. Sometimes team members, sometimes scrum master, and even product owner will screw up the meeting :
- Some participants are late for the meeting. Yes, believe me, this can happen ! (“Give me your one dollar fine please, we’re going to have some beers at the end of the sprint !”)
- The meeting turns into a big report to the scrum master / project manager (“Talk to other team members please”)
- During the scrum meeting two participants (or more) discuss privately. “Hello ! Can you speak to the team please ? Football discussions can occur just after this fifteen minutes scrum”.
- The meeting turns into a technical discussion about how to resolve an issue. “Discuss this after the meeting !”
- As a result, the scrum meeting turns into a big and boring daily meeting trying to resolve problems.
test preg snippet
Feb 04
just a little piece of code to test php preg_match(). I used it to test regexp on urls with Zend_Cache_Frontend_Page
$regexp='\?page';//just a regexp (without delimiter)
checkPreg($regexp);
checkPreg($regexp,$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
function checkPreg($preg,$url='http://domain.com/index.php?page=shop/cart2'){
$res=preg_match(sprintf('|%s|',$preg),$url);
echo $preg ." match with $url ? ";
if(false===$res){
echo 'ERROR';
} elseif(0 === $res) {
echo 'NON';
} else {
echo 'YES. Num = '.$res;
}
echo "<br />\n";

Forms with HTML5
Jan 06
A Form of Madness – Dive Into HTML5
Doctype : for HTML 5 : “<!DOCTYPE html>”. (case-insensitive)
Placeholder
safari + chrome only
<input name="q" placeholder="Type your query here">
Autofocus
saf + chrome + opera (fallback)
<input name="q" autofocus>
Email and web addresses
“Browsers (even ie6!) that don’t recognize type=”email” will treat it as type=”text” and render it as a plain text field.” Iphone will adapt it’s virtual keyboard (no space, @…)
<input type="email"> <input type="url">
Number as spinboxes
Rendering depends on browser (iPhone optimizes the virtual keyboard for numeric input, opera renders as a spinbox control…). The browsers that don’t support type=”number” will render it as plain text field.
<input type="number" min="0" max="10" step="2" value="6">
Javascript methods available in HTML5 :
input.stepUp(n)increases the field’s value byn.input.stepDown(n)decreases the field’s value byn.input.valueAsNumberreturns the current value as a floating point number. (Theinput.valueproperty is always a string.)
Numbers as sliders
<input type="range" min="0" max="10" step="2" value="6">
Date picker
Supported only by opera, rendered as plain text boxes in browsers that don’t support.
<input type="date" /> <input type="datetime"/> <input type="month" /> (month + year) <input type="week"/> <input type="time"/>
Search boxes
<input name="q" type="search">
Color picker
No browser supports it yet.
<input type="color">
Fallback code example for autofocus (jquery)
$(document).ready(function() {
if (!("autofocus" in document.createElement("input"))) {
$("#q").focus();
}
});
