"The template used for a custom post view is decided by the ‘get_single_template()’ function in the wp-includes/theme.php file.  And it basically tells locate_template() to look for single-’post_type’.php or single.php. So the simplest way to customise the way a custom post is displayed is to add a template file to your theme with the name single-xxxxxx.php" Oh. That makes life simpler.

"Here is a memory-friendly function that should be able to split a big file in individual queries without needing to open the whole file at once:" Yep, that'll do.

"Stacey is an easier way to create a portfolio site. No database setup or installation files, simply drop the application on a server and it runs. Your content is managed by creating folders and editing text files. No login screens, no ‘cms’." Elegant - perhaps even more so than some of the stripped-down Ruby static-site management tools I've seen.

How to compile APC into the Marc Liyanage PHP5 package (which is clearly the most sensible one to be using on OSX). Though this is for Server, it works fine on desktop, and as such comes recommended.

A rough guide to building your own ExceptionNotifier for CodeIgniter. Might come in handy.

"So, is it possible to mix segments and querystring?" Sort of, maybe, seems to be the answer.

"pc_user is a lightweight authentication library for CodeIgniter. It focuses on simplicity and security." Indeed it does.

Useful tutorial on building Pagination, that goes beyond the Pagination library and points out what you need to be doing with the Model, too.

Jolly good - easy to configure and get going, nice templating, and fast, because it's based on a databased index. Also, it looks like it's very actively maintained. Now added to this blog!

"Opentape is a free, open-source package that lets you make and host your own mixtapes on the web. Upload songs (via web or FTP), reorder, rename, customize the style, and share what you like on other sites with an embeddable player."

WikkaWiki is a flexible, standards-compliant and lightweight wiki engine∞ written in PHP, which uses MySQL to store pages. Forked from WakkaWiki. Designed for speed, extensibility, and security. Released under the GPL license.

Very impressive screencast of the forthcoming admin interface to EE 2.0. Still convinced that EE is the best off-the-shelf PHP CMS out there. I'm not the greatest fan of PHP, but EllisLab sure make it do great things - Codeigniter is also excellent.

"Chyrp is a blogging engine designed to be very lightweight while retaining functionality. It is driven by PHP and MySQL (with some AJAX thrown in), and has a pimpin’ theme and module engine, so you can personalize it however you want."

"Zenphoto is an answer to lots of calls for an online gallery solution that just makes sense. After years of bloated software that does everything and your dishes, zenphoto just shows your photos, simply." Looks rather good. Thinking about this.

Codeignitier's interactions with databases explained - might fix some problems I ran into with it this morning...

"The Unit Command Climate Assessment and Survey System (UCCASS) (pronounced yoo-kas) is a PHP based survey script that allows you to create online surveys." And it looks like a nice alternative to PHPESP...

"Cruciforum is a very simple web forum, designed to make it really easy to add a discussion forum to a website." Rather fun: no accounts, no administration, all static HTML, and all from one file. Feels entertainingly old-school.

Interesting-looking little PHP web-forum.

"SimplePie is a very fast and easy-to-use class, written in PHP, for reading RSS and Atom syndication feeds." ...and it's not Magpie!

Nice write-up of Cal's tutorial

Nifty PHP variable-dumping class for debug puprposes. Might come in handy.

Quite nice. Generates data objects for PHP. It's not quite ActiveRecord, and the syntax of PHP ( namely "array(array("foo"=>"bar"))" ) gets in the way a bit, but it's not bad.

Anonymous, simple, stripped down BBS software, just like 2channel

May as well look at another example of this. I dread coding login controllers.

"Freetag is an easy tagging and folksonomy-enabled plugin for use with MySQL-PHP applications"

One example of a Wordpress del.icio.us script

Generating nice dynamic flash graphs using php

Enabling PEAR on OSX.

Small bit on searching through textfiles using php

Useful - app to demonstrate regex results and stuff. OSX version in beta.

worth reading purely for one response i will flag later

does exactly what it says on the tin

Actually, Ordinal endings for numbers, but hey. PHP script for sticking nice endings on
