PHP, Zend, Actionscript, Web development, and other interesting things.
So I have a local installation of WordPress which was not configured to send outgoing mail. This has never been a problem until I messed up the administrator password and was unable log in and make any changes.

If you can’t get autocompletion to work, or if you get “No Default Proposals” in the code-assist window in Zend Studio 7.2, the problem is likely to be a file located in your workspace.
The fix below fixes this problem most of the time.
I hope this helps!
Tera Technologies turns 5 years old today.
Over the past 5 years my company has struggled through many things. We’ve barely survived a deployment to the Middle East, we’ve had a change in ownership and staff, and we’ve fought through a severe outage that crippled the company for over a day. Read More

One of the most frustrating things I’ve ran into lately, was the making of a radio form element look the way I wanted to in Zend. As usual, the Zend documentation is laughable, and unless you understand several other more complicated concepts, this seemingly easy task is a nightmare.
As you know, due to the segmented MVC nature of Zend, it is very hard to add examples into a tutorial. It would require an entire Zend application to be set up in order to show every principle. Because of this, I am going to use pictures, and some HTML to show you what I was trying to do, and what I finally did to get the proper results.

If any url in your Zend application is returning a file 404 error, chances are that you are probably working with cPanel (yuck) and probably have a misconfigured .htaccess file.
A normal .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]But if you’re working in a user directory where the URL looks much like this: “http://theirdomain.com/~johnny/”, then your .htaccess file has to be configured to have this line:
RewriteBase /~johnny/
OR
RewriteBase /~johnny/public/
Play around with this directory setting until it works. This caused me so much pain and anguish…
I hope this helps!
The error message:
“Cannot embed local font as CFF. The CSS @font-face ‘local()’ syntax is not supported. Please specify a path directly to a font file using the ‘url()’ syntax. For [Embed] syntax the ‘systemFont’ attribute is not supported. Please specify a path directly to a font file using the ‘source’ attribute.”
This is a very annoying problem when embedding fonts with Flash Builder.
In order to get this to work you have to disable “embedAsCFF”. To do this, simply type “embedAsCFF=”false” somewhere in your [Embed] statement and you should be good to go.
Below is an example of an Embed statement that works:
[Embed(systemFont="Arial", embedAsCFF="false", fontName="embeddedFont", fontWeight="normal", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")] private var EmbeddedFontClass:Class;
Good luck! I hope this helps!
I apologize once again for the server outage. I was experiencing DNS problems and it took me and a technician a long time to resolve.
Let’s hope it does not happen again!

I apologize for the server outage on 05-Oct-2010. We were upgrading our internet connection and it took longer than expected. I’m glad to have you back!
If you’ve worked with AMFPHP you know how awesome of a program it is and how we just wish it could do more. If you’re like me and have ever tried to do more, you have come across Zend_AMF, and, like me, can’t stand how it lacks a service browser, and how difficult it is to troubleshoot problems due to this limitation.
