Re: [PHP] LAMP Opportunity

2007-03-15 Thread Nobody Special

Prestigious Online NY Based News Paper is seeking a solid *LAMP (see
definition of LAMP below) developer to work as part of
A team to architect and build the software that helps the online
newspaper function as a site with an unparalleled combination of scale
and complexity. The successful candidate is enthusiastic about building
out the content offerings and dynamic features of the site and has done
significant web programming in the Unix environment.


Did you know that were I work, plain old key value pairs sent over
HTTP is not enterprisey enough?   They blame it for application
problems rather than their crap AIX/JSP implementation.  Now they want
to convert it to soap/webmethods!  ARRGH, who subscribed them to
infoweek!!!


Responsibilities:
* * Writing application and related database objects to enable users*
* dynamic interaction with the web site


U, I can just smell the AJAX talk...



* Integrating a diverse set of data sources including related databases,
search engines, and XML data


y = integral from 1 to infinity of x /dXml


* Integrating feeds from 3rd parties into the nytimes.com content
management system


Do you have all the contracts in place so you don't get sued for
copyright infringement?  I heard that viacom, riaa, and mpaa are
always looking for a new source of income.


The ideal candidate must have high standards with regard to the finished
product and must be concerned about the quality and
maintainability of the underlying software. In addition, the ideal
candidate possess the ability to design systems, communicate and
work effectively with others, write scalable and high quality code, and
deliver work on schedule.



Well, that leaves me out.  I could care less...


Necessary skills:
* B.S./B.A. in Computer Science or a degree in a related field plus
Computer Science coursework


I got the BS part right.


* 3-6 years web development work experience


I wrote a web page 6 years ago.  Just yesterday I updated it.  Does that count.


* Unix proficiency


I can FSCK right up there with the rest of them.


* Experience with one or more scripting languages such as Perl, PHP and
Python


What do snakes have to do with it?



* Strong working knowledge of RDBMS, SQL and basic database
optimization concepts


The M in LAMP stands for mysql, I'm not sure this counts.


* Experience working with XML, XSL, XPath


and other things starting with X.



* Comfort with Regular Expressions


Sounds kinky!



* Ability to communicate effectively with business side clients to
gather and translate functional specs


Ability to translate BS into gibberish.



* Working knowledge of HTML, Javascript


I thought you wanted 3-6 years?  You just need working knowledge?


* Experience working as part of a team


Me, myself and I.



* Strong verbal and written communication skills



Duhh, like wow!  Dude I can so rap up the suits.



Desired skills:
* Formal software development methodology


You're talking LAMP, remember.


* Experience writing shared and reusable components of code


Stop it your scaring me.


* Experience designing and tuning applications that can scale


I have other uses for scales.



* Some background in a structured programming language, such as Java or
C/C++


How about turtle graphics?  It is pretty structured.



* Oracle-specific SQL, PL/SQL


Wait, there is no O in LAMP.



* Use of source control


cp myprogram.php myprogramv1.php, check.



*Short for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, an open-source Web development
platform that uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the Web
server, MySQL as the RDBMS and PHP as the object-oriented scripting
language. Perl or Python is often substituted for PHP. LAMP has become a
de facto development standard.



Are you sure this is a real job, you didn't once mention AJAX.

Re: [PHP] Word to txt

You can also automate openoffice.org to do this, but that requires much work.

I used the wvware on a project way back in 1999 to do convert word to
html and it works fine for that.

 What I'd like to do is offer the user in my site to upload a word file and
 the script transforms the word to txt and saves to server, my site already
 can receive txt.
 Thanx to you all.

 Top ratings on security compared to Linux or Windows

Unless you enable outside services.   And who rated it anyway? 
Probably paid by Apple.


 Fast processors in many configurations, most include 1000T
 Starting at $500 to $3500 for up to +15MIPS performance

Starting at $500.  Are you talking about the mac-mini.   hahahahaha 
What a joke.  For OSX on good hardware you are talking $2000 and up.  
Plus, you will have to PAY for upgrades in the future.  That is why
they call it FeeBSD.

In certain ways OSX/Apple is worse than Microsoft.  With Apple you
have proprietary software and HARDWARE.


 Excellent GUI interface

It's a server.  Who needs a GUI running that will use up valuable memory.

 Supported by Apache, PHP, MySQL and comes pre-installed
 

Pre-Installed = I didn't set it up = security risk.

Everyone, eh.  You must not be on many lists.  I don't have any
problems with bugtraq or any of the other ezmlm lists I'm on.  
php-general is the only one I've seen sending me ezmlm-warnings.

This sounds more like the php guys don't have their concurencyremote
set (it defaults to 120) or some other issue.   I'm sure if the list
admin will ask on the ezmlm list someone would be glad to help them
get their setup tuned correctly.

 Thanks.  These are doable..
 

With curl I can automate pretty much any web site, you can't tell the
difference between it and somebody using a browser.   You are better
off worrying about sanatizing the incoming data then securing the
form.   Let your session handling and login stuff take care of that.

Re: [PHP] Mail module array limits

 I want to send emails to 2700 addresses selected from a MySQL

 the addresses into an array, and passing that to the module.  I have
 done this before with a few hundred addresses, but in this case, it
 fails.
 

why don't use use phplist?  


 I know that some of the addresses are no longer good, as a number
 of them bounce back to a special return box.  I have no way of
 knowing how many were delivered, but I added a special one to the
 end of the array, and it was not delivered, so I have to assume that
 not all are going out.
 

you should ask your host for access to the maillogs on the server.

 My thought is that there is a limit to the size of the array that Mail
 can handle.  I have not tried using the builtin PHP mail function.
 
 Does anyone know a better way to accomplish this?
 

use phplist.
