It sounds like Lamp Post Group is hiring a PHP Developer, per a friend of
mine's Facebook post this morning (who works there):

*A group of companies I work with is in need of development talent. We
specifically would like a PHP developer.
*

He didn't include any details, but I can put you in touch with the right
people over there (I used to work for them and am on good terms with them).

A call to hostgator helped me to realize the .htaccess file needed to  
be IN the doc root, not just above it.

THANKS, EVERYONE !

A friend in California asked if I knew anyone for this job.
Maybe someone on the list wants to apply.

Description:
The enkiLibrary is a shared open source eBook Network that allows
California libraries to own and store purchased and free digital content,
to share access to more content than any individual library can purchase on
its own, to add features and functionality lacking in current third-party
vendor models (e.g., renewing, suspending holds, donating, circulation data
transferred to ILS, etc.), and to share access to unique local digitized
content with other libraries within the Network. Califa and Contra Costa
County Library partnered to co-develop an open source eBook Network, shared
by, and accessible to multiple library systems in California. The platform
is based on the Douglas County (CO) Libraries model, which utilizes the
Adobe Content Server and the open source VuFindPlus, developed at Villanova
University. The Quipu Group, a software development company, is developing
the initial VuFindPlus interface.

Funding for this project is available through a Bay Area Library
Information Systems (BALIS) Innovation Grant, LSTA monies, and Califa. This
position will be part of the team making enkiLibrary happen through system
administration and support of the Adobe Content Server (ACS) and the
VuFindPlus open source software, including configuration, maintenance and
customization of these two servers.

Working Knowledge and Experience with:
Open source software for next generation library catalogs and discovery
tools.
Database administration (MySQL, Oracle, Solr)
User-facing web standards/platforms (HTML/XHTML, cross-browser CSS,
Javascript, jQuery/AJAX, PHP, mobile web)
Search platforms (Apache Solr)
Library software applications and protocols (NCIP, SIP, APIs, user
authentication, integrated library systems)
Web server software

Having overcome my last LAMP problem I've hit another problem almost immedi=
ately. My apache server seems to be working just fine as does php=2C I'm ab=
le to execute phpinfo() without a problem. I wrote a little php to query a =
few lines in a VERY simple MySQL database. When the page loads it's a blank=
 web page=2C no errors and no results. There are two entries in the table t=
hat I'M trying to query so I would expect to see two lines outputted as htm=
l. The code is below. Any ideas? Note that fname & lname are just variable =
I retrieved from an html form via $

"Most" programming languages ... Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java.  Usually =
the deal is that there's already some existing application out there, =
it's in serious trouble (perhaps abandoned in favor of greener climes), =
and the task is to drop in and do it, always landing "four paws down."  =
There's been some stranger stuff ... Prolog, R.  Never a shortage in =
this world of half-finished stuff that's been left high and dry.

Can programming-languages be a hobby?  I think so.  I'm always poking =
around sites learning about new ones.  I've even written a few.  It's =
really interesting to me, to see how programming languages work and to =
see them as a power-tool for a particular class of problem.  There's a =
really challenging Terracache in this area (I think it's still alive) =
which at its various puzzle stages included both a very large Sudoku =
puzzle and a logic-problem ("The man with the blue tie is not standing =
up") with twenty-odd stages.  GNU Prolog not only solved both problems =
but, geek that I am, showed that one of the clues in the logic problem =
was not required to solve the problem.

Hobby or not, everyone starting on a new project picks their favorite =
and everybody's got a different favorite.  So, when they waltz on to the =
next gig and you're the one following 'em, you dance with the one that =
brung ya.

I'M trying to learn a little php but my learning as been halted by some str=
ange behavior when executing my html/php files. Within my html documents I =
am attaching them to php files via:=20

When the html file executes the form=2C the browser downloads the somefile.=
php file as if I were a picture or song I was downloading from a website ra=
ther than executing and displaying the php page in the browser. Executing p=
hpinfo() from the browser via 'localhost/phptest.php' is working just fine.=
 This problem is only occurring when a php script is called to be executed =
from an html file within the browser. Also note that I have tried this in t=
wo browsers with the same result.

I've removed php5 and apache2 and re-installed both of them and I'M still g=
etting the same result.

Here's the info from /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Thu Feb 28 12:45:35 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubun=
tu3.5 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

Any ideas. I've hit a brick wall here and I can't continue my php book unti=
l I get this resolved.

It's a religious question, I know
but if I were to pick a PHP database abstraction connection layer..
Which one actually works in the real world?

I'm going to be test driving (30 day free trial) one of Xi3's 5 series
computers, and buying it if I like it:

http://xi3.com/x5a-modular-computer.php

Thinking of using it as an HTPC running Plex and Sickbeard mounted to my
TV's VESA bracket, since the Boxee has been an ongoing disappointment.
Opinions?  Is it overkill?  What would you do with one if you already had a
server and a workstation you were happy with?

I'm diving into things I would not normally do at home, at the request of 
Princess Nancy and am wondering if ya'll had advice.

Her goal is encoding a big rubber tub of music and audio CD's and making 
them available to a player in her office, making the tub go away.

I tried to buy her a Logitech Squeezebox...
but she balked at the price. For now.

So, using what I have laying around I updated a Chumby Classic with Zurks 
offline firmware:   http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=7831
which works very well.. impressive. She likes the Chumby because it is 
cute, the speaker is good enough for her uses (quite background music).

I'm using a little Asus Atom netbook as a server. I tried using it in 
Squeezebox mode, but after burning some time playing with setting up 
"logitechmediaserver" (the current version of SqueezeServer) I did an 
"apt-get remove --purge logitechmediaserver" It seems to be quite the 
kludge with lots of competing documentation.

Following Zurks notes in a Readme file, I installed MediaTomb as a 
UPnP/DLNA server on the Netbook. I'm impressed. The Chumby does it well 
enough, and enabled a webserver for managing the playlist. It also worked 
very well with my Android Samsung Note II (I'm still liking it..) using 
"MediaHouse" as an App.

My Asus RT16 has a "minidlna" server in it, but it seems to be picky
about what it talks to. The Chumby can not see files in the folders,
but my phone dos.

I've decided to go down this road and do it well.

So, my question is: Is MediaTomb the best choice for a UPnP/DLNA
server? I see a lot of options.

What are ya'll liking for a UPnP/DLNA server and
what else are you using it for?

We currently use an Access database to track our PC, Printer, and Network
Device inventory. It was created sometime before my time here, and we have
really outgrown it.Ideally a replacement would be a web-based php/mysql
style app to make it easy to deal with.

Does anyone use or know of any open source Asset Tracking software? IT
specific is good, but if it is a configurable generic system that would
work to, as we could allow other departments to use it.

Thank you,
Chris Mowery

Technically, this is a PHP dev meeting, but like all things,
there is an overlap to Chugalug.

If you join and RSVP via Meetup.com at:

it'll help us know how much pizza to get.

Meeting: PHP and MySQL

   Chattanooga PHP Developers
   Wednesday, February 6, 2013
   6:00 PM
   Utiliflex
   701 Broad Street, Suite 201 Chattanooga, TN 37402

Agenda:
Lets set the defib to 400 kjoules and see if we can bring this group back to life.

Draw:
Mike Harrison, arrogant geek bastard will build a functional PHP and MySQL/MariaDB
general purpose web framework in 30 minutes, addressing common 
requirements.. of generic web applications using nothing but a text editor and some 
SIMPLE cut and paste samples. It's an "understand the basics" of PHP and 
SQL focus. Mike expects to make mistakes in public, get berated by the 
audience and generally have some fun in order to seed discussions and 
determine if this is an actual group and how/where it goes.

No frameworks, MVC's or live animals will be injured in this presentation.

It's cold and nasty, some warm pizza will be delivered and there is a drink machine
on the 1st floor and coffee on the 2nd.
