PHP: Easy to use and secure PHP hashing Class
Why
I created this class because there are too many people still saving simple md5 instead of more secure hashes.
The class should be fully PHP4 and PHP5 compatible and very easy to use. But also extended usage on its complex methods is possible.
Example
The usage of the class should be straight forward.
If you just want to use it, use the methods hash() and check().
EXAMPLE:
$secure_hash = new secure_hash;
$hash = $secure_hash->hash('pass');
if($secure_hash->check($hash, 'pass'))
echo "Password fits to hash.";
else
echo "Password does NOT fit to hash.";
$hash = $secure_hash->hash('pass');
if($secure_hash->check($hash, 'pass'))
echo "Password fits to hash.";
else
echo "Password does NOT fit to hash.";
That is all you need to know for just using it, but i have to tell, you will miss something important if you stop reading here.

Benchmark: APC vs. MySQL MEMORY fetching Speed
I once wrote a article about APC and MySQL MEMORY table caching and found out that APC needs very much memory compared to MySQL MEMORY. Now i did a short benchmark to check out the fetching speed of these two solutions with a interesting result.

PHP: foreach vs. while vs. for - The loop battle!
PHP has just one kind of array, it does not have separate lists, hash or maps, they are all combined in a "array". Iterating over such a array is a very common part so doing it wrong can lead to less performance.
In the following article i will do a short test which loop is the fastest.

PHP: PHP 5.3.0 - Short Ternary Operator
With the Realease of PHP 5.3 have come very much little new details, on of them is the short ternary operator wich annoyed me for a long time because you have to use it with 3 subjects.
Before PHP 5.3.0 this was the only way it could be done:
$result = ($if == 3) ? $than : $else;
Now in PHP 5.3.0 you can write:
$result = ($if == 3) ?: $else;
There is one problem i see here.
I cant use this in my public projects because it will make my code >= PHP 5.3 dependent wich is NOT an Option. But this mixed with the fact that namespaces are now available with PHP 5.3, it will my namespaced code always PHP 5.3 dependent.
PHP: APC oder MySQL MEMORY Table für temporären Cache?
Bei einem aktuellen Projekt wurde APC eingesetzt um tausende kleinere Variablen zu cachen da es sich nicht lohnen würde diese in einer persistenten Datenbank zu speichern. Da der 30MB große APC Cache jedoch recht schnell voll wurde habe ich ein paar Nachforschungen angestellt, dabei bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen dass APC für das Speichern von einzelnen kleinen Variablen viel zu viel Speicher verschwendet.
