Choosing the right PDF library in PHP

OD | 30 October 2011

There are a number of PDF libraries that can help you dynamically generate .PDF files through PHP : FPDF, TCPDF, DOMPDF, CEZPDF…
I’ve long worked with FPDF which is very light (with a core file of 49ko), easy to implement but the functions provided are limited.
TCPDF first astonished me since it is able to display pure [...]

Configuring Aptana to connect MySql databases

OD | 26 December 2010

Using Aptana is great but having to constantly switch to PhpMyadmin to check Mysql table structures can be tiring (even if [CMD + TAB] or [CTRL + TAB] makes it a bit easier). It may then be useful to configure a MySql connection in Aptana.

From Notepad2 to Aptana, IDE for PHP Dev

OD | 12 August 2010

This time I’ve found it!

I’ve looked for PHP IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) for a while but had never made a choice. This time, I’m ready to move to the one I’ve tested : It’s called Aptana, an open [...]
