Cakephp and ACL – how to work with users and groups
Today my webdevelopment collegue Eelco pointed me at an interesting article at the site komunitasweb. The tutorial explains how to work with ACL and how ACL is implemented in CakePHP.
Definitely a must read if you write webapplications in cakephp which need user or group based restrictions

A Minimal PHP MVC framework
This evening I was reading a remarkable article of Rasmus Lerdorf on his blog. The article describes how to build a minimal mvc framework for your own application in php5. Earlier I was shocked by Rasmus his theories, but after reading more of his work I'm quit charmed towards his ideas.Rasmus has a very good theory, but on the other side I think that I don't have to reinvent the wheel again.

Netbeans for php , a new player on the market
On a search to git compatible php editors I stumbled upon the blog of this blog telling about Netbeans ( original java editor ) which now seems to support PHP.
My first reaction was, "oh not another eclipse wannabe". But this turns to be a big mistake!
Netbeans is instead a very neat php editor with a lot of extra helping functions for html as well.
Check it out, it has turned to be my favourite editor within one day!

UPDATE
While playing around, I must and cannot say anything else, then "THIS ROCKS".
Almost everything is included, from Ajax/Javascript library support ( dojo, scriptaculous, prototype, jquery ) until GIT versioning control, database graphical and text layouts.
jEdit and phpParserPlugin
Last month ( december 2008 ), a new version of the phpParserPlugin was released for jEdit.
For any jEdit users, you can download it using your Plugin manager. If you find any trouble updating the plugin, just uninstall it and install it again ( although that worked for me)
jEdit rocks!
