My coworker found something that almost worked, but failed horribly, so I fixed it and here it is for your viewing/usage enjoyment. Note that it requires jQuery.

… Hmm, apparently our version of wordpress doesn’t like code. I’ve uploaded it though. Take a look:

I especially agree with the PHP Manual.  PHP is highly community-driven, and the manual shows that.  Almost any function you search for in the manual, you’ll see a ton of community comments relating uses, caveats, etc.  I’ve been working with PHP for many years and I still hit the manual probably twice per week.

This makes your entire application easily transferrable and installable (no need for database setup). Of course, it’s nowhere near as powerful as most database engines but for small applications or dynamic configurations, this kind of database works great.

Here’s a nice article and short tutorial on using PDO and SQLite:

If you find a PHP or web-application/development related article and would like to share it, please post it to the mailing list.  When one of us site admins has a chance, we’ll link it up here.  Same if you want to write an article or present to the group.

Some of the recent topics discussed at meetings include Twilio (telephony API), jQuery, PHP5.3, and frameworks.

How about topics you’d like to see/present at the meetings?  Post ‘em here or to the mailing list.

10 Advanced PHP Tips Revisited

I thought it had some good stuff.  There are a few arguments in the comments, but that’s to be expected.

We upgraded azphp.org to the latest wordpress and in the process fixed a bunch of broken items from the old site.

We learned how to easily install or upgrade an instance of wordpress using subversion. Doing so via svn allows you to easily upgrade or switch between wordpress versions (tags) without mucking about with tarballs and ftp.

All in all, a good meeting. Now, off to Boulders on Broadway for the usual foodstuffs.
