PDO gets official support from MySQL AB

Lukas Kahwe Smith just posted the following to php.internals mailing list:

Ok, it seems that MySQL AB is finally committing to fix up PDO_MySQL and to generally accept the fact that PDO is the future. Of course mysqli will also be actively maintained. But they will also make mysqlnd play nicely with PDO etc.

Some things which happened while I wasn’t blogging

Haiku OS reported on their Google Summer of Code results

Makes me think, that I should really-really get some old mac-mini and install Haiku on it. At least, I can program some fancy Jukebox out of it

www.milkfarmsoft.com up and running

Web site of my company (Milk Farm Sotware, ltd.) is kinda “alive” again. The design is brand-new, the content is partially updated.

The texts and downloads are there — everything should be working fine. I didn’t do any software updates this time — just republished old archives (they still work) to the redesigned site.

By the way, I registered an account at ohloh.net project. You can see all opensource-projects I was involved in, there.

Unicode vs. Programming Languages

I really-really want to see a programming language, which allows using proper unicode symbols for operators.

I mean:

× instead of * → instead of -> ← instead if <- ≠instrad of != ≤ and ≥ instead of <= and >=

This list can be continued more and more…

I perfectly understand the roots . . . → Read More: Unicode vs. Programming Languages

OSNews: Apple Developing a New LLVM C Front-End

Somehow, I missed this news earlier, but, I guess, it is very important. Because it means, that:

MacOS would be able to use non-gcc by default (there are some comments, here, describing why it is a good thing) MacOS would become really-really cross-platform

DateTime vs numeric timezone

Is it possible to create DateTime object if I have some date string, and a numeric timezone value?

Something like: $timestamp = ’2007-07-07 07:07:07′; $timezone = ‘+0300′;

$obj = new DateTime($timestamp, new DateTimeZone(????));

I need this, to add proper support for YAML-timestamps in my syck extension.

In YAML, timestamps have several representations:

Here it is: new and shiny PECL package of Syck
