Comment on Recursive Closures in PHP 5.3 by TimeBomb

TimeBomb — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:13:37 +0000

Great article.
Thank you very much for pointing out the new PHP 5.4 Closure bind/bindTo methods – I did not know that they existed, and, after a bit more research into the capability of these methods, they have helped me quite a bit.

I have a single object, called EventContainer, that implements the observer/listener designer pattern and, combined with a trait to pass the container around my application, makes working with the observer design pattern extremely easy.

EventContainer is a single object that holds all events, organized by event names. Each event name can hold an unlimited amount of closures. An object can notify the event container of an event, and then all the closures will shoot off.

What the bind method allows me to do is allow all closures sent to the event container to seamlessly use the $this keyword and act as though the event code is being run directly in the object that triggered the event – even though all closures are stored in and run by the event container.

Thanks again.

Comment on Installing Imagick under Apache on Windows by John

Thank you so much for the write-up… found a decent amount of information on getting ImageMagick to run under windows, but wasn’t able to actually get it going until your article.

I got mine going with XAMPP and Windows 7. There are older VC9 versions of XAMPP available on sourceforge, I used 1.7.7 which is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/1.7.7/
Specifically I downloaded xampp-win32-1.7.7-VC9-installer.exe, which is thread-safe.

For ImageMagick I used ImageMagick-6.6.3-4-Q16-windows-dll.exe from http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/

For the extension I used ’2011-04-25 18:49 – php_imagick_ts.dll’ from
http://valokuva.org/builds/

I also installed ghostscript and it’s working fine as well.

Again, thanks for your write-up!

Comment on Creating a Persistent Login Mechanism by Jeremy Cook

Jeremy Cook — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:47:26 +0000

Good point and to be totally truthful I’m not entirely sure why I suggested two fields. In my defense I wrote that quite a while ago.. The only reason for the two random fields is that it obfusticates things a little more. If an attacker was able to observe a number of cookies they might be able to work out that the ones called ‘pl’ have a common purpose. However, that would only provide a negligible benefit. It looks like one db field would be quite enough.

Comment on Zend_Form and Validating Values for Multiple Column DB Keys by Jeremy Cook

Jeremy Cook — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:38:47 +0000

isValid($data) is a method of Zend_Form which I’m subclassing on the form object I created for the form. Sorry, I didn’t make that very clear in the text.

The function public function isValid($data) is there on Form, View or Controller.
