For years, many people have argued that one of PHP’s big successes is deployment. The language has little to recommend it for anything beyond simple database-backed HTML templating, but there’s little easier than dropping a couple of .php files in a directory through FTP.

Arriving with the NetBeans 6.1 release last week was the NetBeans IDE Early Access for PHP. This provides a complete PHP integrated development environment hosted in NetBeans, re-using the infrastructure NetBeans has already employed for Java and Ruby. Having walked through the main NetBeans IDE, I thought it worth looking inside the PHP update to see what it offers one of today's most popular languages.

Currently, over on Slashdot, there is an article on forthcoming features in PHP version 6. And, like most PHP articles, the comments section is flooded with jackasses arguing that PHP sucks as a language. I get frustrated by the entire "PHP sucks" campaign, largely because it's like the HTML e-mail argument - mostly driven by the fact that it's stylish to hate them - but I'm going to go further. I argue than everyone posting about how PHP is a bad language as a whole is an idiot. Every single one. Each is a foolish, arrogant, nerd sheep who can't think for themselves.

You'd never think a guy could write so much about a blog application but to date after 6 parts we have covered a mass of detail from initial setup of our project's directory structure to Authentication of users. To date the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive to this series and I'm presently collecting comments regarding improvements for later inclusion. Today's entry concerns authorisation. We previously covered how to authenticate an author to the blog, but we still have nothing ensuring only authenticated authors can access the new Administration Module. This is the domain of Zend_Acl, an implementation of an Access Control List system which limits access to resources by the roles assigned to a user.

I'm currently working about equally in PHP and Java. I can't say I've fallen in love with Java. But Java does have a feature or two that would be useful in PHP. One of them is the Enum (enumeration, that is), which is traditional in some languages and DBMSes (including MySQL) and was introduced in Java 1.5 (or is that 5.0? I'm sure they do that just to expose people like me as Java amateurs).

Charles Nutter, a Sun engineer who has worked on the JRuby project, commented on PHP in a panel discussion at Sun's CommunityOne conference. I will not join the "PHP vs. Ruby on Rails" "discussion" here, as the comparison of a programming language to a web application framework for another language does not make sense, IMHO. Instead, I would like to comment on two of Charles Nutter's points.

Many Open Source content management systems written in PHP want to be recongnized by the business industry as being "enterprise" ready. This is not only a mark of prestige and status but places them in a position where large companies are ready to invest in the software as a platform for their projects. Drupal is now trying making its move to be enterprise ready but has a long way to go.

PHP's next edition, V6, includes new features and syntax improvements that will make it easier to use from an object-oriented standpoint. Other important features, such as Unicode support in many of the core functions, mean that PHP V6 is positioned for better international support and robustness. PHP is already popular, used in millions of domains (according to Netcraft), supported by most ISPs and used by household-name Web companies like Yahoo! The upcoming versions of PHP aim to add to this success by introducing new features that make PHP more usable in some cases and more secure in others. Are you ready for PHP V6? If you were upgrading tomorrow, would your scripts execute just fine or would you have work to do? This article focuses on the changes for PHP V6 — some of them back-ported to versions PHP V5.x — that could require some tweaks to your current scripts. If you're not using PHP yet and have been thinking about it, take a look at its latest features. These features, from Unicode to core support for XML, make it even easier for you to write feature-filled PHP applications.

While working at some really old code that provided a fulltext search feature, I was at one point rather unsatisfied due to the fact that said code resisted all attempts to debug it. This lead to the decision to sit down on a rainy weekend to try if I couldn't come up with something more useful, and most importantly, scalable. After about three hours of trial and error with Zend_Service_REST and Zend_Search_Lucene, I came up with a working prototype of a service-oriented fulltext index.

Everybody who writes object-oriented code knows about constructors. You need them so the program knows how to instantiate objects, right? And you especially need them when a lot of things have to be done while instantiating an object. And personally, I've never considered visibility restrictions important enough to be a major argument against those languages that have lacked them (PHP 4). So why would I be skeptical of public constructors?

Every major website seems to have a tag cloud. Users love tag clouds; they help navigate masses of content quickly and easily. When used appropriately, they help us sort filter through information stores, reduce the signal-to-noise ratio. Providing a tag cloud is also relatively painless for the server - after all, it’s just some HTML. But how do we actually build a tag cloud at application level? In this tutorial, I’ll take you through putting together a full-blown, calculated web 2.0 tag cloud in PHP.

Sometimes I’ve seen people say PHP is a bad first language, because it teaches bad programming habits. But is this actually true at all? Often those who say that don’t really like PHP themselves either, many times because of equally untrue reasons. I think PHP is a perfectly good first programming language - I would even go as far as say it’s possibly the ideal first language if you are interested in web development.

The conclusion was that there are massively popular PHP projects and somewhat popular if not obscure Java counterparts. I'm a Java fan and it pains me to discover this reality. The user comments also underlined this feeling.
