There's a new post on Lukas Smith's blog where he talks about frameworks, phpBB's decision and building "gold on top of crap".
See the various symfony CMS solutions are an example of how wrong things can go. We now have several solutions whose architectural differences are either cosmetic or simply bad design decisions probably a result of trying to invent things in the small ecosystem of a company project team. So I was very happy to hear then that phpBB will adopt Symfony 2 for their next version. Hopefully this will become a role model for others.
He talks about how several of the popular CMS systems these days have worked harder on their external functionality than on the base (where they need the most work). He also looks towards a future where there are good, solid CMS solutions and leaders will emerge from the pack and provide quality content management for the PHP masses.
There's also some great discussion in the comments of the post with people who both share and disagree with some of Lukas' thoughts.

In a new post to his blog Klaus Graefensteiner takes a look at two ways to test for prime numbers both with Sieve and from a file.
In PHP is really no ideal way to test large integers and determine whether they are prime numbers or not. The most popular algorithm for finding prime numbers is a memory and resource hog. It is called The Sieve of Eratosthenes.
You can get more of an idea on this method in this video and in this example from Wikipedia. He includes the full source for his solution that includes methods like isInteger, isPositive, isPerfectSquare and isPalindromicPrime. The script is also available for download.

Alex Netkachov has a new post for those using one of the popular content management systems out there and who might be looking for some resources to find some good extensions for them.
No matter how long you keep a web site, if you update it frequently, holding a community, or taking care of it in any other way, at any moment idea of changing or improve its functionality may come to your mind. If you are not a software developer then you have two options: find the developer that will do it for you or try to find extension for the CMS of your site that changes it in the way you want.
He offers a few tips on finding the right extension for your site and needs like looking out for extensions that aren't really extensions and checking the release date to make sure it's current. He also includes a few links to some of the larger CMS extension sites for Drupal, WordPress, Blogger, Joomla and DotNetNuke.
