In a recent post to his blog Daniel Cousineau shows a method for correctly outputting CSV data in push down to the client browser as a method of export.

Nearly every application you could write in for the business sphere in PHP probably requires some sort of data export, most likely in the CSV format. The easiest way to provide a downloadable file is by altering the headers and echo'ing the file content.

His method sets the headers for the CSV file type then pushes the content out (contained in an array) via the fputcsv function. He wraps it all in a function near the end for simple cut and paste.

Coffee is the most important thing for developers. Yet, good coffee. At conferences it is almost vital to have a good coffee during the breaks and talk to experts.

且说那天到南京的时候晕车吐的七荤八素，到了宾馆休息了一会，就跑去参观途牛旅游网办公室，他们的办公室不太好找，不过正好在南京珠江路上溜达了一下，这条路类似北京的中关村，杭州的文三路，总之就是电子一条街。

在途牛与隽辰、陈福炜 先见面聊了一下，主要还是交流了一下招人难的问题，倒没怎么聊技术相关的东西。然后见到了于敦德，他倒是比想象中的瘦一些，一看就是个坐技术出来的创业人，低调，而途牛的朋友们给我最大的印象也都比较低调，他们的公室应该装重新装修一下了，现在一点不像 Web 公司 :) 整个公司的规模倒是比我想象的大多了。途牛是属于那种能"给用户省钱"的公司，相信路会比较好走。又聊了一会儿，拿了隽辰赠的一件衣服撤退 :)

第二天的面试倒是还算顺利，所以晚上又有时间聚了一下。中间还有个小插曲，有个 ......

Over the past few weeks I annoyed my environment with praising DTrace whenever possible. Yesterday, during a break at the Barcamp Munich, I gave Wolfram a short introduction on his Mac and decided to put some stuff here:

DTrace is a toolkit available on Solaris (Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris), recent MacOS versions and FreeBSD for mightier than tools like truss or strace but with way less impact. DTrace allows you to "hook" (called "probes") into the system and allows to do some analysis then.

I guess all that works best by showing an example first: PHP uses a wrapper over the system's memory allocation using a function called _emalloc (which is wrapped by a CPP macro called emalloc) so it might be interesting to see how often that fun ......
