[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

couldn't you just do a grep on the filesystem to list the class names? i.e.:

grep -r "class "

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] remedial documentation

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

sorry didnt read fully this will give you a complete inventory of all
classes and vars and methods in the filesystem (just typed this in email
without testing, you may need to tweak it to fit your environment):

echo '<?php' > all_files_list.php
find ./ -name "*.php" |awk '{print "include "$1";"}' >>all_files_list.php
grep -r "class " *.php | tr -d '}'|awk '{print "$new"$2" = new
"$2"();"}' >> all_files_list.php
grep -r "class " *.php | tr -d '}'|awk '{print
"print_r(get_class_methods(new "$2"());"}' >> all_files_list.php
grep -r "class " *.php | tr -d '}'|awk '{print
"print_r(get_class_vars(new "$2"());"}' >> all_files_list.php
echo '?>' >> all_files_list.php

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] remedial documentation

[Jough D. <jou...@gm...>]

Is the code documented at all?  If so, you could run it through PHP
Documentor (http://phpdoc.org) to generate API documentation. Even if
it's not documented/commented, PHP Doc may be able to generate
something useful for you for free.

Of course, you can always iterate through the directories, use the
Reflection classes to show the members, methods, and parameters of
each class (hopefully assuming one file = one class) and build your
own documentation.

[chiPHPug-discuss] PHP developer position (No recruiters, please!)

[Trevor O. <tr...@gm...>]

Hey, everyone, sorry to send another email on this, but we're still looking
for a PHP developer
*
RECRUITERS NEED NOT CALL, NO THANK YOU, WE'RE NOT INTERESTED*
The company I work for (Cellit) is looking for another PHP developer, so if
you are a guy (or gal!), or know a guy, or know a guy who knows a guy who is
well-versed with PHP, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, MySql, unix, etc., send me an
email.

About Cellit:
Cellit is a marketing company that uses text messages to connect businesses
with clients.
Example:
Chicago Tribune wanted people to be able to text in for more info on their
classified jobs section. We've done similar for dozens of other clients.
IKEA wanted  people to be able to text in for coupons on their cell phone.
Again, we've done similar for dozens of other clients.

What you would expect working here:
A very small, but stable and resilient company
TONS of responsibility, but lots of satisfaction of seeing your work
advertised on TV, newspapers, the internet, the el, billboards, etc.
Fast pace, lots of variety in the projects you work on. Sometimes you gotta
fly by the seat of your pants to meet deadlines.

I can't say what the pay will be, because I don't know, but I will say we
pay well and have decent benefits (health, gym membership, 401k)

If you have any questions, send me an email.

Thanks

Trevor Oldak
Lead Engineer
Cellit, LLC

[Walter T. <php...@to...>]

Wow!

It seems my mail server is WAY behind!

I have a few accounts that pass through different mail servers. The  
message that was "sent" today (or at least it came across the list  
today) was sent sometime ago. It seems that this mail server (a  
friends home linux box) has been having some issues and has finally  
decided to send mail out.

I received dozens of messages today for this account, and I see  
several listserver messages show up that was sent weeks ago. I'm still  
going through about 2 hundred messages that just showed up this  
afternoon!

Anyway, todays message is weeks old and out of date.

Sorry, Walter

when to
                           call in a real guru.
      * "Web Designer"   - I'm a developer, not a graphics person. I
know UI,
                           and UIX, let me work with an excellent
designer
                           and we can create some kick-ass sites
      * "Captain Flash"  - Backend has been my focus
      * "Major AJAX"     - yes I can do it, have done it, but not my
focus
      * System Admin     - yes I can use Linux, I can maintain Windows,
configure
                           and admin Apache

Seems that every opportunity I've come across is for a "Master of all
Trades". I've met many talented people in my years, but I've never met
a "Master Of It All." I'm damn good, but I'm not that good.

So, if anyone knows of an opportunity for a senior/lead developer,
systems architect, someone who has a need for experience, please let
me know.

[chiPHPug-discuss] [Fwd: I need help finding developers! Do you have ANYONE to recommend?]

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

Thought I would pass this along.  Troy is a really great guy and very 
successful entrepreneur.  Super smart and has a lot of backing, so 
whatever he is working on will probably be successful.  He is also a 
great guy to learn the start-up ropes from.


If you have any questions feel free to ping Troy directly.



-------- Original Message --------


OK, so we all hear about how bad the economy is and how many people are
out of work.  Why then am I having trouble finding programmers???



As you may or may not know, we are getting closer to launching a very
cool, Web 2.0 site that is backed by a Chicago PE firm (I can tell you
more in Mid October).  I have been working in “stealth mode” on this for
9 months.  It is a great opportunity for developers to do some
interesting consumer facing web development that will be fun and
financially rewarding.  We have a small core team of 6 right now and are
building out the development team.  The job description that we posted
on Dice and Craig’s List is below.  Please feel free to forward this to
anyone that you think may be interested.



Thanks for your help and sorry for the impersonal e-mail!
