PHPXref is a PHP cross referencing documentation generator designed to make it easier for developers to browse a PHP application's codebase. With features such as mouse-over information and hot-jumping among classes and functions and extraction of phpdoc style documentation, it really does simplify a job of a developer in getting to know a new application.It requires Perl to be installed since it

Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system. In web applications implementation, it is intended to alleviate database load by caching the most requested data for faster retrieval and lessen DB hits.Installing Memcached on Fedora and adding it as a PHP module is fairly simple using the console.Step 1: Install Memcachedyum install memcachedStep 2: Install Memcache PECL

I'll probably add a few more tutorials within the month as soon as I find the time.I am currently playing around Sphinx and will be posting quick start tutorials about it soon.

Just yesterday I decided to completely ditch Firefox and use Opera 10 as my default browser. The chronic issue of memory leaks and excessive CPU usage in Firefox appears to have gotten worse in their latest release and I just couldn't bear with it anymore.As a recourse I decided to finally switch to Opera 10.

This article covers how to use PHPMailer and Crontab to send Emails via an SMTP server without having to directly trigger the actual email sending task via the web process. This implementation gives a performance gain especially to the systems wherein most actions need to trigger email sending (eg. Notification systems in ERP's, CRM's and CMS's).ScenarioMost of the systems I have dealt with

The split command have a couple of essential switches, one may either split per line,per bytes or line per bytes. Lets see which is best applicable for SQL dumps.Splitting per line:Splitting a very large SQL file generated from mysqldump will not be optimal and effective to be splitted using the per line switch, simply because data from one table will take up one line only regardless how large it
