If you're writing a portable application that depends on being able to fetch remote content you probably don't want to tell your users to modify their php.ini. Doing so would mean turning away users who don't have access to their php.ini (as is the case with some shared hosts). Ideally you would want a solution that offers some redundancy.

Previously I wrote about several new features that would be included in this version, however rather than further postpone a release, I've decided to hold off on those features until the next version. Version 0.4 incorporates a new theme, the latest version of tab override (which should resolve any browser compatibility issues), and various improvements and modifications Continue reading →]]> http://tinsology.net/2010/04/apparatus-0-4/feed/ 0 http://tinsology.net/2010/04/php-polymorphism/ http://tinsology.net/2010/04/php-polymorphism/#comments Sat, 17 Apr 2010 02:33:34 +0000 Tinsley http://tinsology.net/?p=1099 Continue reading →]]> http://tinsology.net/2010/04/php-polymorphism/feed/ 0 http://tinsology.net/2010/03/apparatus-update-preview/ http://tinsology.net/2010/03/apparatus-update-preview/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:50:49 +0000 Tinsley http://tinsology.net/?p=1054 Apparatus. Along with some bug fixes there are a few new features. One new thing is the option to attach a database to allow for more advanced functionality. For now this includes something I'm calling examples generation, which allows you to store your code and output and allow others to view it. This is done without giving them access Continue reading →]]> http://tinsology.net/2010/03/apparatus-update-preview/feed/ 0 http://tinsology.net/2010/02/php-confirmation-emails/ http://tinsology.net/2010/02/php-confirmation-emails/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:56:17 +0000 Tinsley http://tinsology.net/?p=1026 High Level Concept What we Continue reading →]]> http://tinsology.net/2010/02/php-confirmation-emails/feed/ 0 http://tinsology.net/2010/01/apparatus-also-happy-new-year/ http://tinsology.net/2010/01/apparatus-also-happy-new-year/#comments Fri, 01 Jan 2010 08:00:05 +0000 Tinsley http://tinsology.net/?p=1004 Apparatus, an in-browser PHP read-evaulate-print loop.
