I like the look of code in ZendFramework but the whole library thang I find rather intrusive ... if I find something in a framework I really need/want I generally strip it out - doing away with everything I don't need, making it conform more to the project in question and using the 'refactor time' as an excuse to understand the details of the code in question ... this all assumes that the framework in question allows for this kind of thing (I always leave in the relevant author attributions, etc) > *Do you Unit Test?* not really, but I generally develop in a unit-testy kind of way, I write code that is known to fail because it relies on as yet unwritten code ... I run it to check it fails as expected then iteratively add required, unwritten code, checking at each step to see it fail in a new, exzpected way then add the next piece until Im left with the end result. I really should get into unit testing, deadlines, lack of budget and general intertia always seem to get in the way ... I must do better :-/ > *Most Used Internal PHP Class* Exception. I also use Iterator & related interfaces quite a bit. > *Preferred OS CMS* er? I'll hack anything if I have to. but I don't really have a preference, never really found anything that satisfies my desire for clean, understandable code. the usual suspects are all somewhat familiar to me but I wouldn't call them friends. I want to take a look the new typo3 engine ... it seems very ambitious and Im interested in the potential for a generic workflow engine. > *Anything else you use frequently in you're PHP'ing that's worth > mentioning:* I use APC quite a bit, play with memcache when I can. and I use firebird (which is a right can of worms atm with regard to the status quo of the php extension ... as a DB firebird is very cool). phpmailer often makes an appearance in projects - I find it to be a very simple, quick wrapper for handling web-originated emails (not bulk mailing though ... I use mimemail class with tyhe qmail extension for that generally). Sphinx searchd/indexer is what I'm currently getting to grips with ... other than the basic configuration and figuring out how to managably work with delta updates Im scratching my head as to how to manage sphinx search/indexing for multiple, small sites on a single server. oh ... I also frequently use this list as a stress-relief mechanism ;-) > ps: I'm not asking for any kind of research project, just interested and > interested to know what's most common + might learn something/find some > new tools/toys! > > pps: will reply myself as well but if I do here it'll make your > intertwined replies messy! > > Many Regards > > Nathan > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
