Octavia Anghel popst an article about creating international application with PHP and PEAR. She writes:

«If you develop Web applications that have an international target audience, then you have to take internationalization into account—a process that includes avoiding date/time or currency confusions and delivering all text pertinent to the user interface in the user's preferred language. Applications that can grow international traffic and improve revenue must respect their clients' needs.

PHP comes with a set of PEARs that support internationalization from several different angles and levels of complexity. The I18N PEAR presented in this article offers the core internationalization support for your PHP applications. You will see how to:

• Download and install the I18N PEAR

• Internationalize numbers

• Internationalize currencies

• Internationalize dates and times

Christian Budshedi post an article in which he tells about Displayin contents of WordPress in several columns. He writes:

«While CSS 3 is capable of doing this on its own with the new Grid Position Module, a lot of browsers do not support this functions yet, so I needed to add a little extra markup to the output which is generated via the_content() to get the following result:

To get this result we need to filter the_content() before output with a custom function and add 2 divs to the output, which we style with CSS later on. So Ladys and Gentleman please open the functions.php file of your current WordPress Theme.»

One of most comon web developer's tasks is making HTML element s do some useful things when events are fired by browser, for example, when user's mouse cursor is hovered over the element.
Classic solution for this is attaching event handlers right in HTML code, i.e. <div onclick=...
A great approach for programmer when you have full access to source code, have enough skills to modify it etc. But sometimes you cannot control element's event handlers (imagine you write an article on some website, or you need some event handlers to a particular mod_mainmenu links in Joomla)
While surfing the Web, I've found a library that solves this problem  - Cruiser Behaviors library.
I'll show you how you can separate the content and it's behavior using this library. Let's make a HTML that displays Google PR retreived live from Google server without writing event handlers as HTML element properties. PR will be displayed as a tooltip for element, updated once per page display and displayed when user's mouse cursor hovers over the link

Introduction

Creating a chat application is not a difficult task. Honest!

This tutorial is a step by step introduction to creating a lightweight chat application using XML as a storage medium. As personal motivation, I develop PHP games as a hobby. In pursuit of that hobby I've found that offering a flat threadless forum in such games tends to result in heavy usage as players attempt to use it as a chat room. The reason is that even with the advent of irc and instant messengers, users continue see an alternative web based solution as attractive for a number of reasons whether its limited access to instant messengers through a corporate proxy or simply for convenience sake.

You can download the current version of the source code for this application from: chat.tar.gz or chat.zip. This will be the final version of the code after finishing the tutorial (plus any subsequent patches).

To create this application, I'll be using standard third party libraries. I have no intention of creating new solutions for tasks which are already well covered by a range of excellent libraries. A lot of unnecessary work can be blamed on the "Not Made Here" mentality, so let's not subscribe to that mentality.

On the server side I will be utilising the Zend Framework 0.20 (released 31 October 2006). On the client side, AJAX and Javascript processing will be simplified by using the Prototype library. Should any visual effects be required, I will use Scriptaculous. Proponents of alternate solutions like jQuery, Dojo or any number of others can apply the same principles using their preferred libraries as they wish.

This chat application tutorial focuses on blending the Zend Framework (PHP5), Javascript and Prototype libraries in order to create a simple elegant solution. The code is liberally licensed under the New BSD License to the extent it's original and readers are free to modify (and mangle) the code under that license as they see fit. Formalities aside, let's dig in!

The Zend Framework

The Zend Framework has quickly established itself as one of my favourite libraries in PHP. Personally I dislike large frameworks which establish an edificial structure you're forced to adhere to. The Zend Framework however is packaged as a library of mostly independent classes which is simple to adapt and mix with my personal library of code.
