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.

Hetzner: Server with 24 GB RAM for 249€ per Month
For people that need a massive amount of RAM, Hetzner, a german quality serverhoster, has a special internal offer. It can not be found on their website (http://www.hetzner.de/), because it is a "request-only" offer.
There is a thread in the official Hetzner forum where they mentioned there has been some requests for such machines in the last time, so they asked what pricing model would be the best.
Current offer looks like this:
The current High-end Model EQ9 with 24 GB RAM instead of 12GB RAM.

Piratenpartei hat Vorherrschaft in Twitter erlangt
Es geht langsam los mit dem Wahlkampf und den Vorab-Umfragen zur Bundestagswahl 2009. Eine Partei werde ich besonders im Auge behalten, die Piratenpartei oder kurz, Piraten. Diese Partei bringe endlich frischen und technisch kompetenten Wind in unsere "Was ist bitte ein Browser?" Politiger Riegen.
Doch wenn es nach den aktuellen Internetumfragen gehen würde die man inzwischen auch vermehrt auf Twitter findet, sollte die Piratenpartei die nächste Wahl haushoch gewinnen!
Wenn dies mal nicht ein klares (Vorab-) Ergebnis ist. :)
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.
