Today a new version of cakephp-1.2's pre-beta released, Eager to upgrade I plugged it into the new Cheesecake2 codebase which was happily on cakephp-1.2's last alpha (released on 9th July). As expected some minor migration issues did crop up immediately, posting the list below.

He has a list of four:

  • No more debug, cake_admin etc. constants in config/core.php
  • Addition of fieldset/legend around radio buttons
  • Label given for radio buttons group does not appear but radio buttons texts appear as labels
  • The 'inbetween' has been removed

Each has helpful hints around (or to fix them) included.

"ModernCaptcha" is a simple script in order to prevent spam in a very user friendly way. In a few words, your visitors don't have to type some characters as you see on the most websites, the verification is made by choosing the company name belonging to the logo that is show.

It's an interesting approach, but, as one reader pointed out, bots has a one in five chance of guessing correctly. That's way less than with a more standard image manipulation CAPTCHA method. I'm not sure I'd want to use it on my sites, but it might be good for a smaller site.

There's a demo of the end result and a download of the latest version as well as some limited support provided in the comments of the post.

Andi is featured in episode #33 of RedMonk radio. In it James and Conte quiz Andi about PHP on the IBM System i, scalability, The Microsoft partnership, and a host of other topics.

They honed in on the System i stuff and mention how Java, one thought to be the perfect fit for the platform, has fallen short.

You can grab the podcast directly from here or, if you want to find out more about the RedMonk Podcast, check out their site.
