Kore Nordmann's Blog: PHPillow - a PHP CouchDB wrapper - Update

Fri, 23 May 2008 11:18:34 -0500

Kore Nordmann has posted about a PHP wrapper they've created to lay on top of CouchDB - PHPillow.

The wrapper is called PHPillow, lays on top of the Couch and offers even more comfort laying anything into the database. :) It has complete API documentation, currently a test coverage of >95%, tutorials and practical examples included. Even I would call it alpha - as CouchDB is still alpha at the current state - you can expect it stay quite stable API wise, as I rely heavily on it in other projects and therefore won't break too much.

You can check out the latest version of this wrapper from its subversion site and get more information about CouchDB on its website and wiki.

Hasin Hayder's Blog: How to make your own springloops in PHP

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:26:33 -0500

Recently, the Springloops version control system made its debut on the web and was greeted with both skepticism and interest. One developer, Hasin Hayder decided to look at it from a different angle and worked to see how easy it would be to reproduce a similar service.

Springloops is a nice code management service recently came into focus. It helps you to manage the code base of your application, monitor the commit and deploy the final version easily to another server. So if you are wondering how to build such a system and how it actually works, this article is for you.

He breaks it down into the six main topics (as he sees it) that are the core parts of the system - things like payment gateways, setting up subversion and making it user friendly. He goes through each topic, explaining its place in the application and providing some links to resources to help you set it up (or at least learn more about it).

Continuing in his series looking at the construction of a blogging application with the Zend Framework, Padraic Brady has posted a quick new item pointing out the subversion repository for the project if you'd like to follow along:

You should all see a few commits commencing at the weekend. Probably all in one go since I largely have a standard skeleton I use already. [The URL is] http://svn.astrumfutura.org/zfblog/.

He's working live on it so things might break from time to time, but at least you can keep up with his thoughts and ideas on methods for some of the common blogging tasks.

Hasin Hayder's Blog: Installing PECL subversion extension for PHP in Ubuntu 7.10

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:48:13 -0500

Hasin Hayder has a new post to his blog today about trying to set up the PHP extension for interaction between his scripts and the subversion version control libraries on his Ubuntu linux system.

I was trying to interact with my subversion repositories using PHP yesterday and I knew that PECL has a extension named "SVN" for PHP users. So I tried to install in in my machine by when I tried to install it with the [following] command it always failed.

The trick to his hint is to install the libsvn-dev package (found via a search with apt-get) and installed and compiled in to the PHP installation with the extension. Sample code is included.
