Okay, time for some code samples to boost traffic to my site. In a previous posting I talked about the idea of RADAR, or RESTful Application, Dumb-Ass Recipient. So, wanting to see if I could put it into use, I decided to do the following for a new application: Have the core of the application provide data via a REST service, For the web part of it, create controller / action pairs that call the REST service and pass the output onto the views.

There's four code examples included in the post:

• Defining the IndexController for the app
• Creating the results, standings and schedule methods in the controller
• Rendering the XML for the response and for the standings and for the standings for a particular division (two code blocks).

• Testing Models with CakePHP 1.2 test suite
• Simple Tagging Behavior
• Something Fresh (a new release of CakePHP)
• Pagination Helper for Long Content
• Toggle behavior (an ENUM field in SQL)

Todays post features a brand new Set function called merge that was a side product of me working on a cool new cake class. If you've done a lot of array work in the past, you've probably have come in situations where you wanted to merge to arrays into a new one. Usually that's a no-brainer in PHP by simply using the array_merge function (or the CakePHP wrapper 'am'):

In about 90%++ of all cases, this will the usual way to merge two (or more) arrays into a new one. However, sometimes array_merge is not going to cut it. That'll mostly be because it does not behave recursive and merging nested arrays can lead to unexpected results.

He even shows an example of the use of array_merge_recursive to try to get his desired results. With that still not working, he turns to CakePHP to help him out. He comes up with the Set::merge method to handle the merging of the arrays in what he thinks is a "more correct" way.

Want to share your Flickr photostream with the world, but only once you've given it a nice, customized touch? Look no further than CakePHP -- and a few lines of code -- to pull off some magic! In this article, we'll use the Flickr API and CakePHP to take the images we've loaded onto Flickr and use them to build our own, non-Flickr web gallery.

He steps the reader through the tools needed (including the Flickr Component for CakePHP) and how to get things set up and working together. With just a few simple calls to the Flickr API, the script grabs a photoset, gets the information about them and, finally, grabs a list of them to use in the photo gallery layout. He even throws in a sample usage of the popular Lightbox Javascript helper to show off the photos.
