After playing around with ZEND Gdata to create a dynamic calendar for all games of ALBA Berlin for some time, I came up with the calendar you see embedded below. I am trying to integrate a gadget that will link directly to the game details on Fantasy Rotation, once we have launched that feature.
It is not finished yet, but it looks promising. Implementing some almost undocumented ZEND features was a bit more tricky than expected. ZEND is making extensive use of magic getters/setters which can give you some headache when …

While implementing a small example of a search engine for my trainees using the ZEND framework, I often stumbled into links from this page: MarkMail

$ pear config-set data_dir /path/to/htdocs/pear

When in a Windows environment the path separators are backslashes so I entered:

$ pear config-set data_dir c:\xampp168\htdocs\pear\

The I installed PhpDocumentor:

$ pear …

In order to run some test cases on my local Drupal installation I needed to install PHPUnit via PEAR in an XAMPP running on a windows box. This installation guide is for the people who are too lazy to read and for me, so that I don’t have to read it again the next time. :) As a side note: I have an XAMPP 1.6.7 for Windows with PHP Version 5.2.6 running.
