Some people have responded including the Datepicker fame Marc Grabanski . So, this follow-up... First of all, I was not ranting nor complaining; I've just blogged/documented my experience. The common problem most of the people pointed out are that it scales for addons.mozilla.com. Those who have accessed their source code can understand that they've done lot of things and also the site is not database-intensive. You should really create a real database-intensive website to understand what I mean. The other point that been pointed out is about open source and community. Lot of people may not be knowing that it's 2 people pushing it and don't want others to be credited . The generic model or dynamic model idea was originally been from grigri and Marcel . It's hard to be called as open source as only few and sycophants are driving it's direction (I'm not talking about svn access) So, here are my humble checklist before you start shouting at me Did you read a...

I was using CakePHP for sometime and proposed CakePlus , another UIMS toolkit on the top of CakePHP but also altering some problematic core of it. The thread should explain the outcome of the post. And, then I noted Akelos framework has most of the things built in. Issues with frameworks esp. CakePHP Scalability not a priority - Developers aren't aware that we can't throw more and more hardware Excessive use of regular expressions Evangelist isn't aware that the framework throws many queries unnecessarily More memory consumption - 100M would never be enough for a simple project Poor coding standards and practices - Prolong use of extract() often leads to more memory consumption Can't use the native approaches or baked codes. The override approach always lead to hard to debug codes Poor architected codes and no clear defined approaches. People belong to the cult drives the direction and often throws unprofiled codes. No native provision to share codes between M-V-C and...

My life and career are full of surprise... I wanted to work in film direction Wanted to work in AT&T Bell Labs with Dr. Dennis M. Ritchie (creator of C) Wanted to work in Borland with the great developers of Delphi But, none of these dreams came true. And, after 6 years of my career into Web Application Development, I informed the company about my humble desire to work with the great minds I came to know through internet--to see if the company can offer employment for them: Jeremy Zawodny , Alan Knowles , Cal Henderson . Peter (who is actually from UK), who approached them updated me that Jeremy cannot join the company due to his marriage and Alan feels that the company may not offer the international salary. And, my dreams are just dreams! If anyone wants to work with me, ping me through LinkedIn

I just spotted through Google that Raj Shekhar has quoted my post to comp.lang.php in his Blog Ideas page: mr_burns wrote: > Is it possible to get the previous url. For example, if I am on page > page01.php - and I then click to - page02.php - from page02.php, can > use script to determine that I have come from page01.php? It doesnt > have to be the entire url, even just the file name. Cheers Add this line in the beginning of every script or possibly using a global-common include file say config.php output_add_rewrite_var('referer', htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

Sometime ago I had lot of interest in contributing to the www.php.net online manual's notes. Thought lot of them are deleted now and not even relevant now, I'd thought of archiving them for my own reference: http://www.php.net/ref.pdf#32797 Date: 7 Jun 2003 06:42:11 -0000 If you want to create PDF without using PDFlib library, you may try FPDF ( http://www.fpdf.org ). If you want to know, how to use FPDF in PHP scripts, you can look at the source code of phpMyAdmin as phyMyAdmin uses this FPDF. ( http://www.phpmyadmin.net ) http://www.php.net/ref.array#32969 Date: 12 Jun 2003 11:32:58 -0000 If you want to remove a particular element from the array without loosing the keys, you can use the following function: function RemoveArrayElement($arr, $element) { if (($key=array_search($element, $arr))!==false) unset($arr[$key]); return( $arr ); }/*---------RemoveArrayElement()----------*/ Example: $arr = array("a","b","c","f","x...

A to Z of C , the DOS/Turbo C programming book written by K. Joseph Wesley and myself turned 5 on August 1. Initially, we felt bad for spending our time in writing a book that were rejected and deceived by publishers. Now we get quite reasonable appreciations from people around the world--even though it's having technical and grammatical errors. Long live the internet publishing! Probably a time for "A to Z of PHP" ?

It's been quite long time since I last blogged... and for the sake of blogging/record, Heleena and myself are blessed with a wonderful girl baby on February 21, 2008
