Today my older brother celebrates his 36th Birthday. He always was a guiding hand in my life and is one of the most unselfish people I know. Through our life as kids, playing together he became my best friend and was this ever since. His motivation was the reason I am a coder today, him being a brilliant and vastly experienced software developer, who supported me during my self taught career.

Amon (named after the Egyptian Sun god or a demon) is a self-hosted toolkit that allows you to monitor web apps with a small footprint (Amon can fit in 20MB of RAM) and all the information kept in one place. It's a nice open source tool (with good docs) that can run on the smallest VPS you have. If you don't trust similar cloud solutions (some of which are not free) and you want to be in full control of your logs and performance history, then Amon is probably worth a look, especially for you DevOps folks.

HTML which stands for Hypertext mark-up language is supposed to be the main language for web pages. Hence the purpose of a web browser is to read the HTML documents and then compose them into either audible or visible websites.

I've just added a new page in the documentation: LDAP (a.k.a Active Directory). More to come...

Starting with 3.0.5, PHPDS_dependant offers a little new trick: read-only fields.

The problem is, when in a class you have a field which should be readable but not writable, you are often lead to make it protected and write an accessor. The resulting code is, well, not really smart:

class service extends PHPDS_dependant
{
	protected $quality = 'great';

	public function quality()
	{
		return $this->quality;
	}
}

From now on, just add the field, it will be read-only by default.
