AjaxTrans
„Start typing any text you want to be translated into the green field. The words should be automatically translated into the language of your choice and appear in the bluish box. To switch langauges, simply click on the language you would like to translate from and then procede to select the language you would like to translate into. In order to swap the contents of the two boxes, use a double click.“
MVC and web apps: oil and water
„MVC and web apps: oil and water
by Harry Fuecks
Roll back the clock by two years. That’s before AJAX, before Web 2.0, before Rails. Where were we then? Well pondering whether MVC was really such a good idea after all. Continuing from there:
What is MVC?
For a long answer, the best I%u2019ve seen (for web heads) is Jeff%u2019s analysis here. There more to be found via Wikipedia and yet more on the old C2 wiki.
A short answer, for web applications (with a PHP slant), is probably a way to organise code based around the following ideas;
* Model: those functions that wrap calls to your db
* View: the templates / scripts that output HTML
* Controller: the stuff that examines variables like $_GET and $_POST and works out what to do next
What’s important to remember is there’s no absolute definition of MVC and there are many grey areas for interpretation and yet more when it comes to using it online. That in itself means, if you’re building a framework, you just need to put the words Model, View and Controller in there somewhere and you’re probably as right as anyone else. A while back John Lim dared to ask Is MVC over-designed crap?, I suspect coming for the gut instinct of an experienced programmer. In a later update he wryly commented;“

Lovely GNU/Screen
„Tausend Fenster offen, zwei Monitore, weil der Platz sonst nicht mehr reicht, kein Expose unter Windows und ein Dutzend Puttys zu div. Servern offen – jetzt nur nicht die Übersicht verlieren (Dramatisiert). Mit GNU/Screen kann ich mehrere ttys in einem tty öffnen. Für Windows-Leute so ausgedrückt: Ich mache eine SSH-Verbindung in Putty auf, starte GNU/Screen und kann dann, zwischen mehreren Shells hin und her springen. Darin lassen sich natürlich auch Programme ausführen, die man eigentlich immer offen haben sollte. Z. B. mutt und top. Das eigentlich Killerfeature ist, ich kann GNU/Screen auch aushängen und mich vom System ausloggen. Die Programme laufen im Hintergrund weiter. Wenn ich mich wieder von irgendwo anmelde, kann ich die Session wieder zurückholen.“ – Nette Einführung in Screen

Top 7 PHP Security Blunders [PHP & MySQL Tutorials]
„PHP is a terrific language for the rapid development of dynamic Websites. It also has many features that are friendly to beginning programmers, such as the fact that it doesn’t require variable declarations. However, many of these features can lead a programmer inadvertently to allow security holes to creep into a Web application. The popular security mailing lists teem with notes of flaws identified in PHP applications, but PHP can be as secure as any other language once you understand the basic types of flaws PHP applications tend to exhibit.“
