I recently undertook a project that involved the consumption of Exchange Web Services through PHP on Redhat Linux. After a few tests, I knew this wasn’t going to be easy as I kept getting a 401 error.

CodeIgniter uses cookies for session management by default, therefore you can’t use any native commands to help you out with session handling. Using the native PHP session, you can destroy the session in one line and follow it up with another line that expects the session to be cleared.
This cannot be done with CodeIgniter’s sess_destroy. This usage is typical in user authentication, here is an example scenario:

In an effort to build coding standards for our team, I recently began looking at PHP CodeSniffer.
PHP CodeSniffer is a great tool to define and enforce coding standards with PHP.

Pear installs packages in the following directory on Ubuntu 10.04:
/usr/share/php/PHP/
I’ve been procrastinating on fixing this annoying error from PHP on Ubuntu 10.04:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so’ – /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
The fix is to purge the mhash package:
