Everyone and their mom have been using Git and GitHub for a while, but I’m just breaking down and using it… I have been slow to adopt because SVN worked for me fine (until I had to merge branches) and I don’t like to pay for storage space. But I continue to be impressed by [...]

if you add a primary key which would turn an “insert” into an “update” within beforeSave() you’ll need to set $this->__exists = true;… the call to $this->exists(); happens in model.php before the callback to beforeSave().

I’m a bit proud of myself on this one… I setup a simple, but clean and configurable, MySQL Master/Slave Replication Monitoring PHP Script:
http://code.google.com/p/php-mysql-master-slave-replication-monitor/ (docs)
It’s Open Source and free, I welcome comments, suggestions, and questions.
I think this will be quite useful for anyone who is setting up a pair of MySQL servers as master/slave and want [...]

I noticed that the data for my saves were not populating with the current date/time as they should, when calling the model->create() function, without a parameter, and then the model->save() function.
$this->ModelName->create();
$data = $this->ModelName->save($dataWithoutCreatedModifiedUpdated);
$data['ModelName']['created']==”0000-00-00 00:00:00″

So I’ve just fought a battle w/ SVN merge and thought I’d post the solution in case others might find it…
Scenario
Our stable code is in trunk svn://svn.domain.tld/repository/trunk
I’ve got a branch of trunk svn://svn.domain.tld/repository/branches/dev
Changes have been made to my branch and changes have been made to trunk, since I branched.
I’m ready to merge my branch back [...]
A very funny post for the programming nerds out there:

PHP would be Cafeteria Christianity – Fights with Java for the web market. It draws a few concepts from C and Java, but only those that it really likes. Maybe it’s not as coherent [...]

I just created a handy little script to create todos in basecamp for unresovled tickets in mantis.
You can see the open sourced code/project: http://code.google.com/p/mantis2basecamp-todo/.
This is something we found useful, if you use both tools, you might find it useful as well.
