PHP appeals to developers and software architects due to its agile nature and support for quick application development. However, possibility of procedural development and lack of inbuilt object model attract huge criticism. Since last several years, many efforts are on to create development frameworks to enforce correct development paradigm and to undertake requisite measures for building robust application architecture. In spite of all these, there is a huge gap between the available tools and industry requirements. The release of Opendelight is expected to shorten this gap.

As we work through conceptual guidelines of new revision to the PHP Application Framework, we battle hard to incorporate a standard client-side library that can provide robust support to AJAX calls, and at the same time, can help build client layer easily and in quick manner. The numerous attractive libraries pose a great difficulty to choose the right one.
We are not interested in choosing just a light-weight one. We would rather like to have an enterprise-grade Javascript library which can be used for broad-range of purposes. The natural choice becomes jQuery as it provides a well-performing core file along with diverse set of plugins for almost all required tasks. The better part is that it provides a customizable user interface (UI) library to achieve the client-side UI building tasks. Though the library is yet to cover all macro-aspects of functional information architecture like menus and layouts, the library provides a step in right direction.
With a number of web hosting companies mushrooming across the globe and offering attractive cheaper options, it is quite difficult for the website owners to choose the best option. We shall review critical aspects for web hosting offerings from a web site owner point of view, and shall recommend the best practices in this article.
The most important requirement of all websites is to remain online all the time. After all, the availability cannot be compromised in any case when we are catering to global visitors who can drop in anytime. Other the other hand, many claim of 99.9% uptime though it is way off any reality except those who are hosting in major data centers. You need to confirm about the data centers in which your servers are going to be hosted. Only approach web hosts who are hosting on major data centers with high credibility.
As the suppport for PHP4 is ending on August 8, 2008 as announced by PHP development team, it is required that everybody migrate their PHP environment to PHP5 ASAP. This requires some upgrades (we cannot tell just modifications, as there are goodies!) to make the existing applications in PHP4 to work with PHP5.
Many developers prefer to have a WAMP (Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP) environment due to the obiquitous nature of Windows platform. A number of ready-made packages are available that can be used to dump a working PHP development environment on Windows environment with a few clicks. The major ones are phpdev and XAMPP, etc.. However, any hardcore PHP programmer would like to setup his/her development environment from scratch with the individual latest releases of PHP, MySQL and Apache for flexibility and scalability.
