Typically when working on code that has tests, you would want to make sure your tests pass when you share your code with other people. It’s generally a good idea to run the tests once in a while too, but why do it manually when you can automate? In this post I’ll show a simple shell script you can use to plug into git, and automatically run your testsuite and optionally reject a push with failing

Since PHP 5, there has been a bundle of built-in exceptions – the “SPL exceptions” – in PHP. However, the documentation for these classes is quite lacking in examples, and it can be difficult to understand when you should be using them. The short answer is always. You’ll find a longer answer if you continue reading :) There is also a french translation of this post, by Frédéric Blanc. What are the

I’ve been working on a Java app which needed Rhino for scripting. The app would need to run untrusted JavaScript code from 3rd parties, so I had to find a way to block access to all Java methods, except the ones I wanted. This would not be a problem if there was an easy way to disable LiveConnect – the feature of Rhino which provides java access to scripts – but there is no such thing. However, af

In this third post of the series, I’ll talk about using dynamic ACLs: How to store an ACL in a database, and construct it from there when needed. This post builds on the things introduced in part 1 and part 2. We will first look at a simple example with users and pages, and then we’ll have a more complex example, involving building a much more complex ACL with inheritance, role types and other stu

Some frameworks like Django and PRADO have the concept of view inheritance, or a “master page” like in ASP.NET. Essentially it’s a similar idea as Zend_Layout is in Zend Framework, but the difference is that you can define the master/parent view inside the view itself. For example, in Django {% extends "base.html" %} would make the current template extend “base.html”, and you then you can define b

Originally posted in my old blog at My Opera Coming on again with the Smarty and Zend View related articles, let's this time take a look at how to get Zend's View Helpers running with Smarty. Other examples for this that I have seen use a syntax like this: {helper helper=Url p='array(something)' p2=stuff}, which is kind of ugly and the array parsing is done with eval, and we know that Eval is Evil
