Zend Framework in Ubuntu 8.04

Posted 14:42, on 27/4/2008 in Web, Ubuntu

Update: The packaged version of Zend Framework is currently quite out of date (5 versions behind the current release at the time of writing), so I would recommend grabbing the latest release from http://framework.zend.com/ instead of installing using the method below.

With the release of Hardy, the Ubuntu repositories now include a package for the Zend Framework, so you can have just one copy of the library on your server that is automatically updated. To install and use this:

sudo apt-get install zend-framework

then add it to the include_path for your app, in a .htaccess file:

php_value include_path '.:/usr/share/php/libzend-framework-php'

you can then require in Zend Framework classes as you need them, or use the Zend autoloader to pull them in automatically when instantiated.

Adobe releases 64-bit flash player for Linux

Adobe have released an alpha of their 64-bit flash player for Linux (I believe this is the first 64-bit player they've done on any platform, it's not available for Windows or Mac yet). And it works great. It may be an alpha but so far I've found it considerably more stable than the released 32-bit wrapper version. It also uses considerably less CPU power. Easy installation instructions via. this blog entry.
