Almost the same steps work for another machine with PHP from Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer.

Comment on Sorting, deleting from a PropelObjectCollection by nathan

Ah. This approach leaves the collection with out-of-order array keys. Which will cause grief if you later iterate with a for() loop, like this:

          for ($i=0; $i &lt; count($segments); $i++ ) {

foreach loops work fine though.

It’s creepy. I wish PHP arrays were less kitchen-sinky; Perl’s division of arrays and hashes would have been good in this case.

Comment on Integrating Nagios with Test Driven Development by nathan

Cool! Nagios-cucumber looks like a great tool. I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking along those lines.

You’re right that Nagios isn’t a Continuous Integration tool. I’m just thinking that functionality can suffer because of things other than new commits, especially on a production app. So reusing existing functional tests for monitoring seems like a good way to increase monitoring coverage.

And I think sysadmins could benefit from using test tools to prove assertions about the environment and infrastructure underneath the application.

Thanks for your feedback, Ranjib!

Well, monitoring tools like nagios are more used against in production or mission critical infrastructure/apps. While unit tests are a part of development practices and there are dedicated tools (called as Continuous Integration tools) used for checking unit tests outputs. Jenkin/Hudson, crucise control, goldberg, Go etc are few of them. These tools can monitor a code repository (git/svn/hg etc) and pull in new commits and then run the unit/functional test automatically and then notify/alert accordingly.

If your unit tests are failing, then it means they are not going via a CI tool. To me testing and monitoring are pretty different.

Never the less, i like the idea . We do use nagios-cucumber for work flow monitoring against some of our apps.

Comment on Adding many-to-many tables to an existing symfony project by nathan

Sara, I've run in to trouble with composite keys using both Doctrine and Propel, so I always add a unique id field to tables I'm going to use with Symfony, even though it's incorrect from a pure RDBMS perspective.

That's why I have id columns in the therapy_drug and therapy_fluid examples above.
