Ever wanted to have some fancy URL for your website ?
In: Apache| MOD_REWRITE| MOD_SQLALIAS
18 Mar 2009You are using some CMS but don’t really like the way it handles URL’s … ?
For example, instead of having “www.mysite.com/index.php?id=12″, you would like to have “www.mysite.com/love” ?
Well, MOD_SQLAlias may be the solution for you, it is an Apache2 module under LGPL, it “will intercept specific URI requests and dispatch them to the appropriate page to be served using a MySQL alias table“.
Basically, you can install this apache module and use it with your current website. It will be completly transparent and will work with your current CMS.
The project can be found on sourceforge here: Mod_SqlAlias on sourceforge
Ever wondered what is the fastest programming language ? Here you will find some benchmarks. Have fun comparing the results.
Well, guess in what position is PHP ?
Thank god Ruby is here…
This website should add some “energy” to the never ending debate “What is the best programming language”… 
PHP & VIM…

18 Mar 2009There are many posts about what editor to use when programming with PHP.
I have been using VIM since about 7 months, I got convinced by a fellow coworker to use it. I gotta admit, it was a headache at the beginning, but the more I use it, the more I like it.
If you ever want to try using VIM with PHP. Here is an excellent presentation on how to use VIM & PHP on Andrei Zmievsky’s website.
You can also download his .vimrc (VIM config file) and plugins files here: Download Andrei’s VIM files
First but hopefully not the last…

18 Feb 2009So.. I finally decided to start my own Blog.
Why? Well, like many fellows, I do spent time to read about “stuffs” on the web and I felt it was time to share some of my findings.
What do I read about usually ? Actually, kinda anything…
Ok, I will start with a framework that I just discovered, it is named “Not One Line Of Html”… I like the name but I am not sure I would use a such framework, I find it too extreme in my humble opinion. However, if you are as curious as I am, go take a look and make yourself your own opinion .
It is a PHP framework that wraps lot of HTML components in PHP.
Look at the following code, it will basically show up a button. When you click on the button, it will change the text of the button.
