由于某些原因，我需要在 WP 插件页面自定义 Locale，使插件的页面能够以用户选择的语言呈现，并且不影响 WordPress 的整体 Locale。
我们知道插件通过 API load_plugin_textdomain() 载入 Gettext mo 文件实现国际化，那么我们只要在载入 mo 之前 hook WordPress Locale 不就可以了？
粗略看了一下源码，发现其实很简单，WP 的 Locale 保存在全局变量 $locale 中，那么劫持它就好了。
以下是 fanfou-tools 的部分实现代码，非常简单：
// {{{ fanfou_init /** * fanfou_init * * @access public * @return void */function fanfou_init() {    global $wpdb, $fanfou;    $wpdb->fanfou = $wpdb->prefix . 'fanfou';    if (isset($_GET['activate']) and $_GET['activate'] == 'true') {        $fanfou->install_table();       [...]

I currently released a new version of phpUnderControl. Beside some minor fixes this release comes with a new feature to aggregate test results of multiple PHPUnit runs.

Use the new cli command merge-phpunit of phpUnderControl to merge multiple log files produced with PHPUnit, as shown in the following example build file for ant.

I've often had to manipulate large blobs of text—no, make that many files containing large blobs of text.

Of course, my IDE can usually handle simple search-and-replace operations, I appreciate the simplicity of the command line interface, on most occasions.

That's one of the reasons I love working in a unixy environment, I think. There's a bunch of utilities that embrace the command line and take simple input and deliver equally simple output. I've employed sed and awk, in the past, and I still use them to perform some very simple parsing. For example, I can often be found doing something like ps auxwww | grep ssh | awk {'print $2'} to get a list of ssh process IDs, for example.

But almost anyone who's ever been enlightened to perl pie delights in its power. In a nutshell, I can do something like perl -p -i -e 's/foo/oof/g' somefile from the command line, and perl will digest every line of somefile and perform the substituti ......

The Free Software Foundation's GNU project turned 25 last week, and the English humorist Stephen Fry made a video to commemorate it:

Benjamin Mako Hill posted some thoughts on how the first generation of free software developers has grown:

Certainly, GNU has matured and accomplished wonderful things in last quarter-century. More importantly perhaps, it's produced wonderful progeny. It has spawned hundreds of thousands of free software projects, thousands of free or nearly-free o ......

As more and more business critical applications are "web made", there's more and more potential for security flaws inside your application. In order to avoid sensitive data to be stolen from blackhats, you need to know the most important techniques how to avoid some of the critical issues. For this reason, PHP Magazin and Entwickler Akademie present a German speaking ......

Max Horvath has implemented a library for type hinting scalars. That interests me, since I find that type hinting for objects has limited usefulness.

I tried using type hints extensively from an early beta version of PHP 5. I mostly gave up on them for three reasons:

1. They make refactoring harder since you get lots of dependecies on a particular class name.
2. Making sure an object is the right class has limited usefulness. If you pass an object of the wrong class to a method without type hinting, you're still alerted to the error the moment you try to call a non-existent method (one belonging to the class it was supposed to be as opposed to the class it actually is). This typically happens early.
3. My experience is I hardly ever see actual bugs in practice that would have been ......

上个月车子到了两年一次的年检，相关部门的短信提醒早早就发到了手机上，上面写明了检验的地点和联系电话。不像交养路费，滞纳金照收，提醒是没有的。

在网上看关于年检的信息，基本上就一个结论：去了就准备好挨宰。-- 或许这也是为什么短信提醒这么勤快 -- 我想。没想过了两天又收到一条短信，告诉我可以在就近的检测站验车，同样写明了地址和联系电话。

这个地址貌似比较近点，于是就抽了个平时的时间，下午三点半开到那里（据说趁下午过去，他们快下班了就没什么心思整你，可以顺利一点）。本以为大门口会有拉生意代验的，结果发现静悄悄，验车的人也不多，开进去把车子停好，交钱，交钥匙，然后就是等着。等候区弄了几排沙发一个电视机，还挺周到。大概等了一刻钟，就听到叫自己的车牌号，于是再次交钱，换证，结束。

还好，还好，没想象的复杂。

A little while back I asked this question on Twitter. I was interested in how other people’s first experiences with PHP compared with my own. I got some great responses - from funny to completely honest. Here’s the list:

• Skoop: I didn’t choose PHP, PHP chose me (nice, very zen.)
• Andriess: low entry barrier, and the AWESOME community
• Felixdv: great community, open-source spirit and low barrier but powerful if needed (as of PHP5 )
• DragonBe: in PHP I found my likings, where as Perl left me hanging about..
• Rmehner: Mainly because of deployment issues in the beginning. PHP was everywhere available. (In the beginning I had often web projects)
• lvtrll: The options at the time were PHP or ASP… which would you choose? =P
• ijansch: it was the logical choice (or, ......

我们到的时候，Ivar Jacobson 正好开讲，演讲的内容可能很精彩，那个 PPT 说实话真是挺一般。我倒是直接被现场的 叽歪 互动大屏幕吸引住了，巧的是，叽歪 的展台上座位空着，我就不客气的霸占了。折腾了半天，才把笔记本的无线硬开关打开，然后抢了半天信号。发出了第一句消息。

没想到这一发就不可收拾，信号越是抢不到，越是想抢。上午刚开始的时候大屏幕显示的消息基本上是报道消息和广告消息。到了 SAP 芮祥麟 和接下来的庞升东演讲的时候，大屏幕上的互动明显更活跃了。可见这两位演讲水平其实...芮 居然跑这里来谈什么 80/20 法则，而庞的 PPT 也太粗糙了一点。倒是 Google 的那位用几幅图蒙了不少人。毕竟好图值千言。不过也有眼尖的朋友说 "张先生还没有使用 chrome"。这时候现场抱怨无线信号不好的人越来越多(1, 2008-09-06 23:41:05 | 全文 | 评论(0)

A Breadcrumb trail is a great tool for site navigation and provides a simple menu for users to find their back up the hierachy to Home. This method alleviates a lot of complex menu creation when navigation is left to a single menu system. The easy to follow path of a breadcrumb is very user friendly and SEO friendly for those who like to push their page rank.

The PHP file_exists() function provides a method of checking if a file exists at a given path. This function extends this functionality to check if a file exists anywhere within a provided directory recursively. This means the file may be within any sub directory also and still be found.

In January of 2008 SUN Microsystems announced its intention to purchase MySQL. This announcement was met with mixed reactions with some seeing this as a positive move and reason to migrate to MySQL while others saw it as a threat to the Open Source movement and migrated to other databases. With a little number crunching some anecdotal evidence can be gained to see how adoption levels have changed since that time.

The GD graphics library that is bundled with PHP provides many functions to enable image manipulation from within PHP. The most commonly requested task is thumbnailing images. This script shows a simple method to use GD to thumbnail an image and save it to disc.

Seperating the individual images in an animated gif with PHP has never been easier than now with the Imagick extension. The Imagick extension allows a vast array of functionality with image manipulation. Here an animated gif is iterated over frame by frame and each frame is resized and thumbnailed. Note the use of writeImages() instead of writeImage(). A handy trick when needing to thumbnail an animated gif
