There are several possibilities to use mod_php4 and mod_php5 in parallel on the same Apache 1.3.x server. For example, if you have plenty of free IPs, you could just set up a new nameserver entry to assign two host names to two different IPs and then use two Apache instances, both running on port 80…

At one of our projects for the Vaillant Group, we were faced with the problem that the portals should be visible on a MDA in the Pocket Internet Explorer. Fortunately, this isn’t a real problem since Chairman, our framework and portal solution, is able to handle multi portals on one installation. We can detect the…

Libextractor is used to extract meta-data from files of arbitrary type. Ext_skel and the pear packaging system came really handy during the development process. Following Filetypes are supported:…

Having read John’s posting, I can tell you something about the switch from Java to PHP. In our last year’s project for the biggest european power supplier E.ON, we ported an application from Microsoft Access to PHP. No Java? Indeed. E.ON had two bids – one from their own IT daughter company, is:energy, and one…

This entry will show you how to model a dotnet valid wsdl file, how to send dotnet valid responses from php and finally how to connect a c# client. This is the wsdl ‚DOTNET‘ way 3->5->7->2 to continue Johann’s previous post. It is easy, at least if you know what desires the Microsoft’s xml-serializer. To…
