getopt and longopts in PHP 5.3+

In the upcoming PHP 5.3+, the getopt() function will finally be available on Windows systems. Furthermore getopt() will support longopts on every system.

HTML_Template_IT Status

It’s been a while since I last comment the current development progress of HTML_Template_IT. So here we go. About 5 month ago we release the 1.2.1 stable. Since then, users discovered just two bugs.

PHP, PECL und PEAR

Viele wurde gesagt, oft wurde gestritten über PECL, PEAR und deren Platz in der PHP Community. Für die einen ist PECL nur einen Anhäufung sinnloser und schlechter Extensions, andere sehen jedoch gerade im PECL Projekt eine wichtige Innovationsquelle, denn vieles was einst in PECL war ist nun in der PHP-Core.Völlig unabhängig von dieser Entwicklung …

Planet-Chinstrap

I really like the idea of chinstraps planet-php system, which fetchs rss feeds from different blogs and display them. This accumulation replaces my daily 20 click and read

experimentalworks.net

Finally done. My blog is online using the new domain experimentalworks.net.
I use serendipity blog software but the template, photos and images were made by me and obviously it’s inspired by the sqlbackup.net layout I made a few month ago. I think about creating a template package and submit it to s9y.org but it takes …
