Adobe Flex with Struts 2 using HttpService

July 18th, 2010 admin Posted in Open source, Web Services No Comments »

Using HttpService is the easiest way in which you can integrate Adobe Flex and Struts 2. As an example I will show you how you can create a registration form in Adobe Flex which calls a struts 2 action to create new users. Note that this example is very simple and for demonstration purposes. I am not adding any validation in flex and not even creating the users in a database. All I show you is how you can pass data between flex and struts. Read the rest of this entry »

Managing Zend Framework Layouts

May 25th, 2010 admin Posted in Open source, PHP & MySQL No Comments »

One immediate benefit developers stand to gain from adopting a framework such as the Zend Framework is a final resolution on managing website layouts and pages. Gone is the need to devise strategies for important tasks such as maintaining page headers and footers, separating the bulk of a page’s logic from its interface, and managing the code repeatedly used throughout the site to carry out special formatting actions. Instead, you can just embrace the framework’s conventions and move on to the next battle. This article introduces you to some of the fundamental concepts behind managing layouts within your Zend Framework-driven applications. Read the rest of this entry »

Mcrypt with Appserv on Windows

November 30th, 2009 admin Posted in Open source No Comments »

 - Install mcrypt extension for Magento and recompile php

-  Ecart os

After a while I could figure out how to install the Mcrypt library on Appserv and windows.

Steps:

  1. Remove the ; (enable) from the php Mcrypt extension line on PHP INI file
  2. Copy the windows Mcrypt DLL - http://files.edin.dk/php/win32/mcrypt/ - to Windows/System32 folder
  3. Restart Apache (and probably windows - I did)
  4. Open a phpinfo file and verify if mcrypt is enabled and what types of encryptions does it carries. If you are using a encryption method that mcrypt does not offer support, it will give a mcrypt module initialization error.

Sphinx full-text search

November 3rd, 2009 admin Posted in Open source No Comments »

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial license is also available for embedded use.

Generally, it’s a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant fulltext search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages. Currently built-in data sources support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL or PostgreSQL, or using XML pipe mechanism (a pipe to indexer in special XML-based format which Sphinx recognizes).

As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU’s Sphinx project.
