David Cloutman pointed to Craiglist’s job ads as an indicator of programming language popularity. Here’s the hit counts for “web design jobs” and “internet engineering jobs” in the Bay Area: PHP Java Ruby Python PERL internet engineering jobs 167 246 85 98 109 web design jobs 110 71 22 19 31 Cloutman has a few ideas for what the numbers mean, but I’m just entertained by the data. (Note: he corrected...

I had plans to take a much needed day off today and spend the day at the beach. That was until a reader emailed me that Google has The Dem Daily blocked as a website that may have MalWare on it. 8 hours later, after pouring through the source code, the php, the posts, I [...]

Eran Gelperin gives an overview of the current state of overloading abilities PHP has in a new blog post today: Operator overloading is a programming language features that allows operators to act differently depending on the type of data they are operating on. Since OOP lets us create custom types (classes), there are plenty of opportunities to do useful and interesting code manipulations using operator...

Producing code that clearly conveys a developer’s intent is key to any well written application. That not only applies to PHP, but every programming language. Developers who emphasize the creation of legible code tend to create applications which are easier to both maintain and expand upon. After seven years of programming in PHP I’ve worked on a variety of projects where well organized and legible...

I have fallen out of love with Perl some time ago, I cannot point to one specific thing about it that put me off, I think it's just a general un-sexyness about it now. I have been doing some Java and PHP development that was very OOP heavy and have been doing OO coding since school in the Pascal 6 days, I find it's almost become the natural way of thinking when thinking about problems. OO though does...

Scott MacVicar shares a helpful hint for the PHP speakers out there - how to apply syntax highlighting to the code in your slides. I use Apple's Keynote for doing my presentations and naturally these include some bits of code that need highlighting so that it’s easier to read. [...] In the end I used GESHI which is a highlight library written in PHP that supports the syntax highlighting of around...

A classic challenge for companies that build products on high-level languages like Perl, Python, PHP, and Ruby —- as well as .NET, and Java —- is that they are shipping their source code to their customers. Companies don’t like disclosing their source code. Language vendors want companies to use their stuff. And so we have [...]

Against all odds, I found myself with a little spare time this week. Rather than do something sensible like clean the garage or get some exercise, I took the opportunity to learn a new programming language: Python. Like may SitePoint readers, I cut my teeth on PHP. I’ve become very comfortable with it over the years, [...]

I never could do much with the C programming language. Every time I would start a project I would have to write a number of routines to handle strings. I get frustrated by having to spend my times writing tools when I could be writing applications. I'm having somewhat the same issue with PHP at the moment. Spending all my...

OK thought I’d use one of my domains and get a directory started up. Never done one of these before and PHP isn't my programming language of choice so be gentle:). I tested it and it all seems to be OK and I skinned it myself which looks to be working in IE and FF. [...]

PHP is not only a very competent web development language (and part of LAMP stack). It is also a very capable language for writing (command line) scripts. You can write simpler and cleaner scripts with php than perl. Here is a php code which takes a file name as input, trims whitespace from each line [...]
