PalmStudios Model Agency
Jul 14th
I would like to introduce you my last web project: http://www.palmstudios.com
For this project I have developed a sort of MVC (Model View Controller) over the RedBeanPHP DB library (PHP 5.3.2). This project even though it looks quite simple it has a very power CMS (Content Management System) on its backend that allows the model agency to control most of the aspects of its business:
- - Clients Management
- - Models Management (Men, Women, Children & Extras) -contact details, measurements, pictures, and so on…
- - Promotional Packages Management – this is a special addon which allows the agency to create model promotional bundles to send More >
Yii Framework -Final Decision
Jun 19th
I never felt comfortable with external libraries, those created by other people. Always, since my old times with Visual Basic, have created my own and until now, everything I created was good enough but… Suddenly, after I found that marvellous library called RedBean, I found my self re-programming all my libraries and end up creating a controller and a base model class for a sort of MVC library – I will post it one of these days so you guys can look at it and find out how easy is to implement that incredible library is (thanks Gabor de Mooij!)

Uri Class for PHP
Jun 10th
For years, we developers tend to keep functions that we find useful into our projects, after certain time they become obsolete or you move one to higher level ways of programming. Some of us, can’t get rid of the code that was once collected-created and I thought let’s see if I post one of my silly old classes what can we get out of it? Let’s make it open source hahahaha.
I propose you the following: Here is my small old good set of Uri PHP functions encapsulated into one class, I know is not a great deal but, let’s see More >
RedBean ORM
Jun 7th
I was breaking my head towards to find a better ORM approach for my own written framework. I used, and was very happy with P.O.R.K., for quite long time but, as most of us, I was looking for something that could improve the speed of my projects. P.O.R.K. configuration is not hard at all, it is compound of a set of classes encapsulated in three files that allowed me to create models in sort of ActiveRecord style and was really, really good when I first started.
Now my projects are bigger, require a lot more of database analysis and those sometimes go up to More >

Hip Hop for PHP?
Feb 3rd
Guys, it seems that the days of breaking your head towards how to protect your PHP code is about to end. Following a great article from the Web explaining what happens nowadays with PHP Hip Hop Facebook’s approach.
The open source dynamic scripting language PHP is widely deployed across the Web, powering countless Web sites (including the Internet.com network). Now Facebook is aiming to change the game with today’s release of a major new PHP effort called HipHop.
With HipHop, Facebook is providing a new runtime that is intended to improve PHP use in large-scale deployments. The HipHop effort, which also includes More >
Handling Timeouts with PHP5 SoapClient Extension
Feb 2nd
I was breaking my head towards a silly thing around SoapClient Calls. My actual project requires Soap Calls to certain providers and everytime I was calling the external server, I had to wait for the server response (if any) and if the server failed to respond accordingly… damn… Warnings and/or Errors displayed and boom… My great application just looked like… well, forget it, I just used the try and catch statements for that… not big deal.
So I jump over Google’s horse and looked around implementing timeouts! because that was a true issue. Can you imagine? A user makes a request More >
Php Frameworks
Jan 26th
I decided to jump over the MVC (Model View Controller) pattern and on one of my linkedin groups I drop a question:
Which one is best?
A huge amount of PHP programmers started to join this discussion writing their personal PHP Framework tastes, providing me with a huge list of Frameworks I would like to share with you. I don’t say that one is best that another, as one of the members said, there is no ‘best PHP MVC Framework, is whatever suits you best on your project goals’.
I know the list could be much bigger, if you know more PHP More >
SWFUpload_0_0. Error HTTP Status: 403 Solved
Jan 5th
SWFUpload is a client-side file upload tool originally developed by Vinterwebb.se. It uses a combination of Flash and JavaScript to provide file upload functionality beyond what the basic browser provides with the <input type=”file” /> tag.
The main features that SWFUpload provides are:
- The ability to select multiple files in the file browser dialog.
- AJAX-style uploading without a page refresh.
- Upload progress events.
- Namespaced classes compatible with other JavaScript libraries (i.e., jQuery, Prototype, etc.).
- Flash 9 and Flash 10 support. (Flash 8 support dropped in version 2.2.0)
SWFUpload is different from other Flash based upload tools because of the philosophy behind its design. SWFUpload gives developers control by More >
Creating Small Urls with PHP
Dec 16th
Have you ever wanted to create small URLs like in Twitter? This service is provided by bit.ly and it is the one I normally use for my projects. It allows you to shorten any long URL (ie. http://www.ramirezcobos.com = http://bit.ly/8zivPq -click on it and you will be redirected here) and also gives you click statistiques.
Nevertheless, there are also other providers that allows you to create a small URL on the fly such as tinyurl.com or to.y. If any of you wishes to create small urls through their PHP code here I got a set of functions (using CURL) for you use on your More >
