A better HTML5 parser for PHP – HTML5DOMDocument

HTML5DOMDocument extends the native DOMDocument library. It fixes some bugs and adds some new functionality.

Preserves white spaces
Preserves html entities
Preserves void tags
Allows inserting HTML code that moves the correct parts to their proper places (head elements are inserted in the head, body elements in the body)
Allows querying the DOM with CSS selectors (currently avaiable: *, tagname, tagname#id, tagname.classname, #id, .classname)

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$dom = new IvoPetkov\HTML5DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML('<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hello</body></html>');
echo $dom->saveHTML();

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$dom = new IvoPetkov\HTML5DOMDocument();

$dom->loadHTML('<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hello</body></html>');

echo $dom->saveHTML();

Paw – essential HTTP client to test your APIs

Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native OS X interface to compose requests, inspect server responses and generate client code out-of-the-box.

This is one of my go-to tools, when test-driving my API endpoints.

Gravity Forms PHP Trait to send notifications and execute hooks on demand

When performing tasks using the Gravity Forms API, handling notifications and hook execution on demand is something that becomes really handy.

<?php

trait GravityForm{
	
	
	function GravityForm_send_notifications($form_id, $entry_id){

	  // Get the array info for our forms and entries
	  // that we need to send notifications for
  
	  $form 	= RGFormsModel::get_form_meta($form_id);
	  $entry 	= RGFormsModel::get_lead($entry_id);
  
	  // Loop through all the notifications for the
	  // form so we know which ones to send
  
	  $notification_ids = array();
  
	  foreach($form['notifications'] as $id => $info){
  
		  array_push($notification_ids, $id);
  
	  }
  
	  // Send the notifications
  
	  GFCommon::send_notifications($notification_ids, $form, $entry);

	}
	
	function GravityForm_execute_hooks($form_id, $entry_id){
	
	
		$form 				= GFAPI::get_form( $form_id );
		$entry 				= GFAPI::get_entry( $entry_id );
		$registered_addons 	= GFAddOn::get_registered_addons( );
		
		foreach( $registered_addons as $reg){
			if(method_exists($reg, "get_instance")){
				
				$execute = $reg::get_instance();				
				
				foreach($registered_addons as $addon){					
					
					$execute->maybe_process_feed( $entry, $form);
				}
			}
		}
		
		return true;
	}
		
	
}

<?php

trait GravityForm{

function GravityForm_send_notifications($form_id, $entry_id){

// Get the array info for our forms and entries

// that we need to send notifications for

$form = RGFormsModel::get_form_meta($form_id);

$notification_ids = array();

foreach($form['notifications'] as $id => $info){

array_push($notification_ids, $id);

}

// Send the notifications

GFCommon::send_notifications($notification_ids, $form, $entry);

}

function GravityForm_execute_hooks($form_id, $entry_id){

$form = GFAPI::get_form( $form_id );

OwnCloud to NextCloud

NextCloud is the next thing after OwnCloud basically shut down.

“OwnCloud (stylized ownCloud) is a suite of client-server software for creating file hosting services and using them. OwnCloud is functionally very similar to the widely used Dropbox, with the primary functional difference being that OwnCloud is free and open-source, and thereby allowing anyone to install and operate it without charge on a private server. It also supports extensions that allow it to work like Google Drive, with online document editing, calendar and contact synchronization, and more. Its openness eschews enforced quotas on storage space or the number of connected clients, instead having hard limits (like on storage space or number of users) defined only by the physical capabilities of the server.” – Wikipedia

Here some links clarifying the shutdown and creation of the new fork NextCloud.

You should upgrade to NextCloud using the following guide, just like upgrading to a new OwnCloud version.

One thing that I am really looking forward to is the new WebRTC video conference integration Spreed.me.
