Comment on Creating embedabble widgets by Eran Galperin

Thanks Dejan, that’s an interesting article you wrote there. I do mention under the XSS technique that creating an Iframe is one of the ways to communicate with a remote server, which is the combination you refer to.

Interesting article, but although you divided xss/iframe, I just posted a step by step explanation of how to build an iframe widget that combines both techniques.

A flash widget is an option, but it’s more convoluted and less accessible to your average web developer. Apart from the different skill set, it’s harder to debug in an integrated environment and you’d also need to recreate content that could already be available in HTML / CSS format on the original web service.

In my opinion Flash should be used for media playing (hopefully HTML5 would replace that soon) and for highly interactive applications (such as games). I’d rather stick to open formats and protocols when possible.

Have you looked at creating flash widgets? You can embed them on sites. This is probably the easiest way to got i think. You can integrate them in with addthis.com for sharing.

Comment on OO PHP templating by Sagi

Ok, the missing word for me was “only”.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, because there is no danger in overriding $file.
Also, sometimes it’s useful when you have the template’s name inside.

Thanks.

I explained it in the post – it is included without parameters to keep the scope absolutely clean. Only $this is available from an outside scope inside the template, and you can declare any variable there without fear of override.

Hi. Good to hear – I read your posts constantly.
Just sent you a question in the post “OO PHP templating”.

Sagi.

Why you have chosen to implement _include without parameters?
If you declare $file and use it instead of func_get_arg(0),
would it change something?

Thanks,
Sagi.

Comment on Zend Framework certification by Artur Gajewski

I took the exam and passed it on January 4th, 2010. I work for a company where we make new web projects with Zend Framework and convert old projects to ZF.

Even though I do ZF coding full-time, there are still areas that I did not know until I studied for the exam. Thanks to this, I now regurarly use those components on our projects.

The exam was hard enough to not pass it if one doesn’t know about ZF that much. I believe the certification does really show knowledge level in ZF and at least I have another document to stack into my CV folder
