Comment on SPL_Types in php and strong typing by Barry Hughes

That’s a great idea and I guess it effectively facilitates primitive type hinting, too:

function do_something(SplInt $index) { /* ... */ }

Of course you could do something like that with custom classes anyway, but this would offer better consistency and strictness where required.

Nice!

Comment on Using git-svn: making the switch by Dmitry

Dmitry — Sat, 12 May 2012 15:16:00 +0000

As I know “git svn dcommit” pushes only one Git branch to SVN. But what if you want to push more complex history to SVN (don’t forget about correct svn:mergeinfo that is important for “svn merge” command)? And this approach loses all dates too.

Have a look at SubGit that is truly bi-directional SVNGit translation. It translates arbitrary Git history to SVN correctly (and arbitrary SVN history to Git too), preserving tags, commits dates, ignores (.gitignore -> svn:ignore), EOLs (“eol” attribute in .gitattributes -> svn:eol-style), merges, and so on.

Comment on Static analysis for PHP by felixdv

Hi Valerio,
An interesting (and relatively new) project that uses static analysis to find security holes seems to be RIPS: http://rips-scanner.sourceforge.net/.
Other than that, static analysis in PHP is mostly done by a collection of tools (phpmd, phpcs, …), a good overview is given on http://qualityassuranceinphpprojects.com/pages/tools.html

Cheers,
Felix

Hello Felix.
Can you tell me which is the the state-of-the-art of the PHP static analysis, at the best of your knowledge.

Comment on Installing symfony in a subdirectory of your documentroot by Paolo Niccolò Giubelli

Paolo Niccolò Giubelli — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:41:20 +0000

There is no index.php inside of /symfony (this is the name of the subfolder).
However I put a test.php file and it says “Internal Server Error”. Apache logs say “Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /web/htdocs/www.mysite.it/home/symfony/

Hi Paolo, does the apache user and group (usually www-data or nobody) has read rights on the symfony directory in your web root?

Try accessing /symfony/index.php directly and see if that works.

Hi! I followed your guide, however Apache returns me a 403 error, saying “Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access /symfony/ on this server”.
Can you post here your *external* (httpd root directory) .htaccess?
Thank you in advance,
Paolo

Comment on Exception catcher filter for Symfony by Greggory Hernandez

Greggory Hernandez — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:28:19 +0000

Thanks for this. This made it very easy for me to log all exceptions to a specific DB table. And as a side note, I’m not sure what version of Symfony you’re using, but this basic concept works effectively under Symfony 1.4 for me.

There is a working example of strong data typing in PHP, see:
