Rasmus Lerdorf
06/05/2002 07:50 AMIn the end, what I think set PHP apart in the early days, and still
does today, is that it always tries to find the shortest path to
solving the web problem. It does not try to be a general-purpose
scripting language and anybody looking to solve a web problem will
usually find a very direct solution through PHP. Many of the
alternatives that claim to solve the web problem are just too complex.
When you need something up and working by Friday so you don't have to
spend all weekend leafing through 800-page manuals, PHP starts to look
pretty good.
The best interview yet. Link thanks to http://phpdeveloper.org/

Rasmus Lerdorf on PHP.
Rasmus Lerdorf on PHP.
12/03/2003 07:24 PM(A new IT Conversation.) "I really don't like programming. I built
this tool to program less so that I could just reuse code."
Ten years later, PHP is now running on the web servers of one third of
all domains on the World Wide Web.
Rasmus explains why this easy-to-use scripting language can power some
of the Web's busiest sites including portions of Yahoo! that handle
over 120 million unique visitors each month. PHP is scalable because
of its "shared-nothing" architecture, unlike Java or similar
virtual-machine runtime environments.
Whether you're already a PHP user, or haven't yet taken the plunge,
you'll enjoy this interview with its humble creator--a true pioneer of
the open-source movement. You'll also hear what's in the works for the
next major release, PHP 5.0, and why Rasmus believes the Web will
become "the interface to everything."

06/18/2002 09:18 AM3 more questions from corporate PHP users whose lawyers want a
guarantee that PHP is free of any patented code or algorithms.
Explaining yet again that, as an open source project, we do not have
any means to provide such patent indemnification. Perhaps an addition
to the "no warranty" clause in the PHP license is in order here which
explicitly states that we can not possibly provide patent
indemnification.
This whole patent thing is getting out of hand. It is even popping up
on the PHP mailing lists. Someone posted an algorithm recently and
someone else piped up stating that he had patented that particular
(obvious) algorithm years ago.

Interview with Google News Creator
10/28/2003 11:08 PMThe Online Journalism Review (OJR) has an in-depth interview with
Krishna Bharat, the creator of Google News. (Here's a photo of the
Google News team with the Webby Award they won.)There are no press
releases on the browsable pages or news pages. We have a higher
editorial responsibility on those because we're telling you where you
should look. On the news pages, we do not intend to use press
releases. We would never do anything to compromise the objectivity of
the product. We don't even show advertising … we do this because we
think it's useful. Making a press release available as part of the
search results gives the full facts that were available to the
reporter when they wrote it.I want this to be a force for a democracy.
I want us to be an honest broker, and I want newspapers featured on
our site to get traffic from us. … There's never been a more
controversial time on the planet. I think it's great to be a news
source at this point because there's so much hunger for news. You see
a lot more diversity in the news coverage on our site than on others.
I think the diversity is a mirror to the diversity of opinion there is
worldwide. One of the things that makes us objective is we show all
points of view. Even if you disagree with one, we give you both -- the
majority and the minority point of view. The ones you don't agree with
are education. It's nice to know what the other side is thinking.
You'll see left-leaning ones as much as much as you see right-leaning
ones. Frankly, the software doesn't know the difference between left
and right, which is good.Google News is available in ten different
national versions....

An interview with the creator of
Scorched Earth, Wendell T. Hicken
03/30/2005 09:21 PMThose of you who cut your teeth on PC gaming in the early 1990s
probably spent more than a little bit of time with the classic game
Scorched Earth. When the game came up in a thread in
Gaming, Extra Strength Caplets
, it sent more than one person down
memory lane.
Written in Borland C++ and compiled using Turbo
Assembler, the game landed in my floppy drive at a time when such
things seemed almost magical. And, to be honest, playing it was kind
of magical in a sense. It's one of the first games that I spent hours
and hours playing on a "Pee Cee," and I found myself digging
it again just in the past couple of weeks working on this
interview.
The game's creator, Wendell T. Hicken, was kind enough to take the
time to answer a few questions for us. Read on for his take on game
development, his current gaming habits, and the possibility of a
future version of Scorched Earth.

Getting Intimate With PHP's Mail()
Function
01/07/2003 02:46 PMPHP provides a handy and convenient way to send email. As you
probably already know, this is through the mail() function. This
function is a great way to send mail using a simple and standard
interface that hides the complexity and quirks of various system
programs that are responsible for sending mail. (Sendmail and Qmail
are two examples of popular mail programs. You would have to talk
directly to the web servers mail program if the mail() function did
not exist). This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of sending
mail from PHP scripts. We will also develop a simple HTML form to help
us work with variables.
"btn" I nearly gave this article a miss because it sounded like a
rehash of the PHP manual. What I like about it is it also shows you
how to call sendmail from PHP. Yeah, i never knew how to do this...

Managing a Music Collection Using Visual
Basic Express and SQL Server Express
07/08/2004 11:46 PMA problem that afflicts me (and I've noticed many of my brethren) is
the need to create a program to solve a task when there are already
many perfectly suitable programs on the market for free or for very
little cash. The standard justification in my mind is that there isn't
a program that does things the exact way I want them to. Now
realistically, I tend to pick on programs that are within reach. After
all, even if Word didn't suit my needs, I have no intention of writing
my own word processing program from scratch. (Although at times, I
keep thinking I could build a better version of Outlook ... yet I
digress).
