As Developer.com mentions in a new article, there's a new video tutorial posted over on Internet.com about using PHP and JSON to pass around data in your applications.
Got seven minutes to learn how you can harness the power of PHP, JavaScript and JSON in a powerful AJAX-driven web application? This Internet.com Video tutorial shows you all you need to know to pass data between the client and server using JSON data format.
The video explains a bit about JSON+PHP and shows you how to send a simple message (book-related data) to the server and how to handle the response with a little help from jQuery's Ajax functions.

Abhinav Singh has a new post to his blog that looks at using a powerful tool, memcached, with PHP to create a simple queue system that could be reused just about anywhere.
Memcached is a scalable caching solution developed by Danga interactive. One can do a lot of cool things using memcached including spam control, online-offline detection of users, building scalable web services. In this post, I will demonstrate and explain how to implement fast scalable queues in PHP.
He starts with an overview of what the queue will let you do - save data into the queue with a unique identifier and pull it back out based on the key requested (and is removed from the queue). The code sets up the connection to the memcached server and gives you methods to check if the queue is empty and to push and pull records in and out. A bit of sample code illustrates how to put it to use.

In another of his "Solar Shorts" Richard Thomas talks about the road to Solar 1.0 as broken down into three points that will lead up to the framework's 1.0 release.
If you haven't taken a look at the Solar Framework in the past now is the time to do so as the three biggest complaints about Solar are on the road to be resolved.
Some of the things that might have made you skip over the framework in the past are being worked on right now:
Solar has been in perpetual alpha/beta forever..
Documentation, all the cool Frameworks have cool docs.
Examples, sometimes the easiest way to learn is to study a working application
For more information about the Solar framework, head over to SolarPHP.com and grab the latest copy.

In a recent interview posted on the O'Reilly Radar site, Msc Slocum talks with Kevin Tatroe about what Facebook's HipHop means for business.
Facebook's PHP overhaul, HipHop, reportedly cut CPU usage on the company's servers by around 50 percent. You don't have to be a programmer to understand that kind of result. [...] asked Kevin Tatroe, co-author of O'Reilly's Programming PHP, to weigh in on HipHop's functionality and its broader applications.
Mac starts with some basic questions - how will it help developers, how will it help businesses - and then asks for some clarification as to what the project really is and how difficult Kevin thinks it will be for companies to adopt.

On the SitePoint PHP blog there's a recent post from Craig Buckler showing how to split up your WordPress content into two or more columns quickly and easily.
WordPress is a great CMS, but implementing some features within your theme can require a little lateral thinking. The content for your page or post is usually output by the theme code using a single function call. But what if you need to split the content into two or more blocks? That might be necessary if your theme requires multiple columns or sections on the page.
There's a built in call WordPress includes, "get_the_content", that returns the content rather than just echoing it out. With this handy function giving you just the content, you're free to split up the content however you want - on certain tags or as they suggest, using the "more..." tag and a few modifications to a few other scripts to split it out into DIV blocks.

Zend and Acquia have jointly released a new white paper entitled: Optimizing Drupal Performance – Benchmark Results.
This paper presents the results of performance benchmarks for comparing several common PHP runtime environments and configurations. The application used for benchmarking is Drupal, the open source social publishing platform.
Tested runtime environments included plain PHP , Zend Server (www.zend.com/products/server), and open-source optimizers, such as APC and WinCache.

Full design control usually means large, thousand plus line CSS files that equal serious pain when it comes to maintenance or building upon. If you don't namespace your selectors carefully you'll end up paying for it down the road. And heaven forbid you apply a default HTML tag styling. So, ranting aside, how do you maintain flexibility and still keep tidy CSS and JavaScript? My solution is to keep the very same directory/file structure that is used for the application for my CSS and JavaScript. The best part is by writing a very simple view helper, it's super easy to automate the proper head link and script file inclusions.

Zend has published a new white paper covering Zend Server 5 root cause analysis capabilities via code tracing. Code tracing captures PHP application execution both in production and in test lab environments. This allows developers to replay reported problems instead of trying to re-create them. As a result, there is a dramatic decrease in time consumed by root cause analysis.

In a new post to my blog , I discuss about integrating Symfony Dependency Injection Service Container with Zend Framework . Dependency Injection is an Inversion of Control specific pattern highly used and encouraged throughout Zend Framework implementation. A Dependency Injection container manages your services life-cycle, it is in charge of their instantiation, configuration and injection as shared instances: no more need to use static methods, singletons or factories for your services!
