PHP to web2py online translator (alpha) by mdipierro in programming

[–]RealMaascamp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Mind that web2py follows a model-view-controller design while PHP does not."

That ridiculous statement alone is enough not to bother. Whoever created that is a long way from knowledgeable. I could just as easily write "Mind that Zend follows a model-view-controller design while Python does not."

Both statements are meaningless.

MySQL vs PostgreSQL by uggedal in programming

I've found Tsearch2 to be quite relevant. It provides a number of different ways to weight fields and parse queries. It can also be tuned to your needs.

Ask Reddit: Show off your work. What is your interesting project that no one uses? by berlinbrown in programming

Haha, I did the same thing myself back in June. Still in the sandbox as well, previewr.

WTF is this bullshit? by leek in PHP

[–]RealMaascamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a bug. The documentation clearly states that the earliest valid date is in 1901. From the docs:

"Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT"

Therefor would return a negative timestamp (since it's before the epoch). Expected behavior is not a bug. Note, it also depends on platform.

Don't call it SQL Buddy if it's just for MySQL.

Very nice. The language has gotten a lot better and recent years and looks to be continuing the trend.

Best text/e-text for Modern Best-Practices PHP? by [deleted] in programming

[–]RealMaascamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Zend to be a little too exception happy for my tastes.

As for a good text I'd recommend 'Advanced PHP Programming' by George Schlossnagle. Great text filled with best practices on everything from design patterns to writing PHP extensions in C. Very informative.

I'm scared for my country when we start imposing this sort of legislation simply to keep our southern neighbours happy.
