This episode was recorded in 2011. Elizabeth now works for Orchestra.io. It's still a fun interview though because...well, it's Elizabeth.

In this edition, I talked with Michelangelo van Dam a senior PHP/Zend Framework consultant. This man really needs no introduction; he is so much of an invaluable asset to the PHP community. As per wefollow.com, he is ranked as the 4th (out of 113) most influential person on Twitter for #zendframework and as the 25th (out of 2,543) most influential person for #php

Questions in the interview cover everything from a bit of history about Michelangelo out to how supportive the PHP community is:

Give and expect nothing in return. People appreciate it more when you give something from the heart instead of giving something as a favor for a future return.

Other questions touch on his "community animal" nickname, his community/life balance and his tracking of the work Microsoft is doing to help the PHP language.

Cal asks Sean his three questions about various projects and topics he's involved with:

• Can you talk to us about what you see about the process of how PHP is developed and is this a positive or a negative?
• Can you give us a quick synopsis of why Gimmie Bar moved from CouchDb to MongoDb and are you still confident that it was the right decision?
• Can you talk a bit about your experience with Node.js?

Cal's questions mainly revolve around Derick's contributions the PHP core (and one on OpenStreetMap):

• Do you consider the current way PHP is developed functional or broken (and why)?
• What would you do to change the way PHP is developed and why would you want to do it that way?
• Explain to us what OpenStreetMap and why you think this is an important project.

The outcome is this little library making it much easier to generate a proxy of your system under test (SUT). Another thought on this library was, that it should be very easy to use if you know the way to mock classes and methods in PHPUnit. Proxy-object has almost the same API, but does not change the behavior of the proxied class/method. The only purpose is to expose hidden methods and members.

The scripts, found on github, give you a simple way to define a proxy over a given class' functionality and define methods/member variables to be exposed. He includes two code examples, one of each type. There's also an example of making the proxy object without calling the constructor, useful in certain cases when the initialization of the object doesn't need to happen.
