Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Data Models

[matt d. <mm_...@ya...>]

I'm not sure 'no SQL' is all that desirable once you get past a single join.
I prefer to build the query in MySQL query browser and after I have what I want use something simple like
getQueryRows($q)
If you where worried about clean data just run all $_REQUEST vars through a scrub globally.
$_REQUEST = clean($_REQUEST);

What's really helpful is if all your classes extend a basic representation of the table row as a class.
The part where you say "table definitions in associative arrays" would be automatically handled there using "DESCRIBE $this->table" and populating $this->cols. Unless you are already doing that?
You would also have things like:
$foo = new foo(insert_row());
$foo->save($array); // uses set_row() and  the built in table definition with validation
or 
$foo2 = $foo->clone($override_data_array); // creates a new row overriding any column data with the passed array, Each class can define pre_clone 
child call
$name = $foo->name(); // any column using "function __call($nm,$argv)" or overridden by a function and returns null if it doesn't exist
formatting
$foo_created = $foo>readableDate("created_date");
json
$foo_json = $foo->json();
forms
$html_form = $foo->getEditor();

Then you can have something like this:
$users = getQueryObjects("select * from users where company_id = 1","user");
or
$report = new reportTable($q,$reportclass,$displaycols);
$report->display(); // sortable rows of data

Subject: [chiPHPug-discuss] Data Models

I am curious what people use for fetching data in PHP. I've been calling 
this my model.
Over the past few years I've slowly built up a framework that 
encompassed basic mysql_connect() and mysql_query() wrapping for error 
handling and simplicity.
For the next step I made a basic query generator for 1-table CRUD 
operations using simple table definitions in associative arrays.
The next step is for complex CRUD with table joins. This is the hard 
part that I'm not 100% sure how I should tackle it. I'm thinking it will 
start small, but ultimately I'll move to full-blown relationship 
modeling with the ability to perform CRUD operations across any 
relationship.
My goal is to write little-to-NO hardcoded SQL into my PHP.

I'm curious to hear about any strategies on this problem, or any 
insights that may have been encountered in similar endeavors.

Thanks!

I'm sure starting a whole new group will suddenly recharge everyone's desire to talk about a scripting language.

I'm not sure what you are responding to with your comment, but by

little to no discussion about anything and mostly just the occasional 
job posting is not my idea of a raging success for a mailing list.

I have experience with both Google and Yahoo groups. My opinion is that
Yahoo's "tools" are more flexible and easier for list owners/managers, and,
for the members of the list, Yahoo! Lists are easier to join. Google's
"group" system has always seemed sort of awkward and behind in development
when compared to Yahoo's system.

I have experience with both Google and Yahoo groups. My opinion is that
Yahoo's "tools" are more flexible and easier for list owners/managers, and,
for the members of the list, Yahoo! Lists are easier to join. Google's
"group" system has always seemed sort of awkward and behind in development
when compared to Yahoo's system.

But moderating a group, especially a busy one, can take a lot of time...

My suggestion is to poke around the Yahoo and Google Groups areas at
http://groups.yahoo.com and http://groups.google.com. It wont be easy to bet
the "feel" the services without setting up a group, but if you look at
Google's area first, then Yahoo, you may know all you need.

[chiPHPug-discuss] Public and private groups?

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

Last week I posted about a job opening. Since then, I've been bombarded with
recruiters who saw the job posting and decided to ignore my "NO RECRUITERS"
note. I generally avoid posting my PHP questions to this group because the
noise to signal ratio is just too high.

Would people be interested in a "invite-only" developer's private group that
we discuss PHP in a way that won't get us spammed, and when we do need to
hire someone, we can keep this group around for the recruiters to poach off
of? The new group could be 100% recruiting and job-finding free and focus on
the PHP language itself and the answering of eachother's questions.

If lists.sourceforge.net doesn't provide the security that I'm looking for,
I know google groups does.

I don't want to take control or anything like that, I've just given myself
the choice of leaving this group or trying to turn it into something
useful....

[chiPHPug-discuss] [JOB] F-E Developer - Contract/Telecommute | 40-50/hour

[Beau G. \(OSS\) <be...@op...>]

F-E Developer - Contract/Telecommute | 40-50/hour

My client is a B2B media company and they are looking to hire a Front-End
Web Developer for a few upcoming projects, ranging from an online
publication development project to social media applications. This is
contract work for now, but it might have the potential to turn into a
permanent position for the right person.

Here's a quick run down of the important stuff they are looking for,
ideally:

* Solid JavaScript development experience. JQuery is a huge plus. 
* Solid PHP experience. WordPress plug-in development would be great. 
* Python experience would be a huge plus. Django experience an even bigger
plus. 
* Solid HTML/CSS. This almost goes without saying. 
* Experience working with templating languages would be great. 
* Strong visual design skills. You should be able to craft amazing-looking,
functional user-interfaces even if you're not working off an explicit mockup
a designer has given you. 
* The ability to learn and adapt quickly to new languages, APIs, development
requirements, etc. 

Above all else, what they require is a strong commitment to productivity.
They are not hiring somebody because their team lacks the skill sets
mentioned above; they are hiring somebody because they have a lot of
projects on their plate and they need to increase their output.  They are
only interested in working with people who are passionate about helping them
increase the quality and quantity of development work they do. 

Although my client has an office in NYC, your geographic U.S. location is
not important, since the development team is scattered around the country.
Wherever you live, you'll have to be comfortable working with others
remotely.  You must be able to contribute as little as 20 or as many as 40+
hours per week.  

To be considered, please submit your RESUME and HOURLY requirements to
beau[AT]open-source-staffing.com  

Thank you,
