PHP4 support ends. It’s time to move on to PHP5. I quite sure some hosts are still using PHP4 and there is a certain host I come across still using 2005 version of PHP4.

Django 1.0 alpha 2 released
Oh something to play with for next week. It’s moving closer to 1.0 already. 1.0 should be out on September. (Source: DjangoProject)
This is probably the easiest way to read RSS feed in PHP, you use simplexml_load_file. It returns a SimpleXMLElement object. The snippet below grabs my blog’s feed and outputs in SimpleXMLElement assigned to the variable $blog. The rest is rather self explanatory.
$blog = simplexml_load_file(
"http://feeds.feedburner.com/ijustrealized",
"SimpleXMLElement",
LIBXML_NOCDATA
);
print_r($blog);
$posts = array();
foreach ($blog->channel->item as $item) {
array_push($posts, $item);
}
print_r($posts);
"http://feeds.feedburner.com/ijustrealized",
"SimpleXMLElement",
LIBXML_NOCDATA
);
print_r($blog);
$posts = array();
foreach ($blog->channel->item as $item) {
array_push($posts, $item);
}
print_r($posts);
The problem with SimpleXML is that it ignores CDATA by default. To stop that from happening, you could merge CDATA as text nodes by specifying the option constant LIBXML_NOCDATA.
There’s going to be an ActionScript conference in Singapore coming October 19.
It would be cool to see what Adobe has for the developers. It cost 60 bucks to attend but if you’re real lucky and are amongst the first 10 to put the above badge up, you might be in for a little discount. And yeah, I am kinda eying for some discount, haha…
We all love charts don’t we?

I say the title is incorrect. The tees merely gotten smaller. (Original picture)

Locked by an invisible lock
This is not funny at all… 不好笑… 肯本都不好笑…
C:\projects\XXX>svn update
svn: Working copy ‘cake’ locked
svn: run ’svn cleanup’ to remove locks (type ’svn help cleanup’ for details)
svn: Working copy ‘cake’ locked
svn: run ’svn cleanup’ to remove locks (type ’svn help cleanup’ for details)
C:\projects\XXX>svn cleanup
svn: Unable to lock ‘cake\scripts\templates\skel\plugins’
C:\projects\XXX>svn commit
svn: Working copy ‘C:\projects\XXX’ locked
svn: run ’svn cleanup’ to remove locks (type ’svn help cleanup’ for details)
C:\projects\XXX>svn cleanup
svn: Unable to lock ‘cake\scripts\templates\skel\plugins’
C:\projects\XXX>sudo kill svn
Sometimes, I rather not use SVN. Can’t cleanup, can’t update too. In such cases… Probably I just delete the whole directory and recheckout again:
C:\projects\XXX>rd /s cake
cake, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
cake, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
C:\projects\XXX>svn cleanup
C:\projects\XXX>svn update
Yeah, not the most brilliant of ideas.

Django 1.0 alpha released
Okay, Django 1.0 alpha has been released finally. I don’t have the time to test this out but I played around with some pre 1.0 alpha builds a couple of weeks back and that time the software was quite stable already.
Django 1.0 alpha released!
In accordance with the Django 1.0 release roadmap, tonight we’ve released the first “alpha” testing version of Django 1.0. This release includes all of the major features due for inclusion in the final Django 1.0, though some lower-priority items are still scheduled to be included before the 1.0 feature freeze, which will occur with the first beta release next month.
The next step on that path will be the first Django 1.0 beta release, currently scheduled for August 5. If you’d like to help out, please review our documentation for contributors and feel free to join in one of the development sprints scheduled for the run up to 1.0; the full schedule is available in the Django 1.0 release roadmap.
Now when would CakePHP 1.2 be released?
