Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info?

Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
I've complained in the past about the annoyanc e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo, the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco over at CBS Marketwatch has noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is collecting public information. However, if the info was given to an individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

Testing PHP5

Testing PHP5 02/16/2004 03:36 AM
Now that PHP5 beta 4 has been released, it might be useful to share how we all do our testing of different PHP versions.

We find it quite bothersome to reconfigure our web server(s) everytime we want to switch between different versions of PHP4 and PHP5. So we have automated all our testing on Windows using the command-line interface to PHP5.

PHP5 beta 4 allows us to define a php.ini configuration file in the same directory as the php.exe executable. We will first modify php.ini, setting extension_dir and include_dir, and enable the appropriate extension=* settings. Then we have a standard DOS batch file that will run php.exe and unit-test ADOdb (the database abstraction library for PHP that I maintain). The output is generated to rez.html.

The last line of the batch file opens the resultant html file in IE. The "start" command will attempt to open any file if the extension mapping exists, e.g. "start rez.html".

The only disadvantage of this approach is that you are not testing PHP5's long-term interaction with the web server, and you need to have an existing set of unit tests that can be automated. This might not be possible if you testing mostly user interface code.

And what do i think of PHP5 beta 4? Two thumbs up. Didn't have to change anything in ADOdb to make it work with beta 4.

Sample DOS Batch File

Note: Each release of php5 is kept in its own sub-directory (c:php5php5b1, c:php5php5b2, etc). Tests are in d:phpadodbtests.

c:
cd php5
del *.html
cd php5b4
d:
cd phpadodbtests
c:php test.php testmysql > c:php5rez.html
c:php test.php testoracle > c:php5rez2.html
c:
cd ..
start rez.html
start rez2.html

A Review of PHP5

A Review of PHP5 02/26/2003 12:28 PM
PHP5 is comming closer and closer, and with that the Zend engine2.0 will change on how PHP handles OOP. To be ready for this I have made a overview of the new features that will be available when PHP5 finally arrives. I am also looking into creating extentions for PHP, and when my C skills gets a bit better I will try to dig through the source of the Zend engine and figure out what is what there. But for now I have some examples that should show you how the new features will affect you as a programmer when PHP5 arrives. -- Håvard Eide

PHP5: Ready For The Enterprise?

PHP5: Ready For The Enterprise? 12/12/2002 12:27 AM
The Open Enterprise talks about PHP5."My love affair with PHP started, I suspect, the same way it does with most people. I simply started using it. PHP's short learning curve and easy syntax makes it approachable by anyone who has ever used a scripting language. Its power comes from how it simplifies the task of building Web applications because PHP isn't just a scripting language, it's a Web scripting language."

In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops 12/29/2004 11:54 AM
This month's Top 15 Desktop PCs chart highlights two trends: the emergence of powerful new gaming systems that have sophisticated style, and the rapidly growing selection of Media Center PCs, which expand PC-based home entertainment beyond gaming. Examples of the former are two new Athlon-fueled machines that sit atop the power section of our chart: Alienware's Aurora 64 FX-55 and ABS's Ultimate M5-64. Both of these systems are visually appealing without shouting "I'm just for games." Not only are they the two fastest systems on the chart, but they also produced outstanding sound with their high-end Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards and their 5.1-channel Logitech speakers (the X-530 and the Z-680, respectively).
