  • Zend Certified
  • WordPress parse error: syntax error on PHP 5.2.x
  • Force.com Certified Developer
    • ]]>     I’ve been preparing for the past few months to take the Zend certification for PHP. However I’ve been busy as well with client projects but I plan to take it this year. Here is an interesting chart on the growth of PHP Certified Developers through the years. The growth of PHP developers have been phenomenal due to developing applications on open source environment LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) has always been cheaper alternative, but with the numbers of PHP developers growing there has not been a significant growth for those getting themselves PHP certified.

    Here is a slide chart courtesy from a research made by Prof. Mauricio Garcia F. Nascimento from Sao Paulo

    certified-php-experts

    With the U.S. leading with 1,047 PHP Certified Developers based on 2009.

    And from 2004-2008 only 15 are PHP Certified from the Philippines. I want to belong in that company soon this year. So back to studying again.

  • PHP Certified Developers
    • ]]>     I have made a goal for myself to become Zend Certified, I’ve been prepping up studying to get ready for the test hopefully by October, 3 months to go. From starting out ages ago as graphics designer to becoming a full pledge web developer. Just having your name listed on Zend Yellow Pages would definitely be an achievement. Kudos to the guys who already made it.

  • WordPress error- Is its parent directory writable by the server?
  • Import sql dump using the MySQL client
  • Cloud Experience
    • ]]>     My first basic PHP tutorial. Pretty simple tutorial on enabling the GD support extension. PHP 4.3.x and higher by default has GD support included but may not be enabled. First thing to do is to check with phpinfo(), if you don’t see GD support, then we need to enable it.

    Simply open your php.ini and uncomment extension=php_gd2.dll

    ;extension=php_exif.dll
    ;extension=php_fdf.dll
    ;extension=php_filepro.dll
    extension=php_gd2.dll

    Next check the extension_dir and edit to your php directory.

    extension_dir = C:\php\extensions\

    Edit the path accordingly to where the php_gd2.dll file is found in the php directory.
    Save and restart Apache. GD should now be enabled.
