Chris Shiflett’s Power PHP Testing lists the various you can write automated tests for PHP software.

Barry McKay at OTN – Persisting PHP5 Objects in Oracle: „Storing objects in your database is not just a gimmick; rather, it is the final piece in the „developing entirely within the object-oriented paradigm“ puzzle. It allows you to analyze, design, develop, and test using all the techniques that are so popular in traditional, large-scale,…

Harry Fuecks at SitePoint – MVC and web apps: oil and water: „CRUD is defined in the context of databases where what you’re dealing with is sets of information—you need to make a distinction between inserting into the set and updating an existing member of the set.

This enables PHP developers to create new content-centric applications and dynamic web pages that access Alfresco.“

Tom Yager at InfoWorld – Innovation puts the blitz on mediocrity: „In 2006, I have little doubt we’ll see the soul of my brand of innovation appear again, which I’ll summarize in a phrase that might make you wince: Never take customers for granted. That’s it. If you adopt that as a mantra, you’ll either…
