Zend Server CE and Xdebug install on Ubuntu

Install Zend Server CE

1. Open terminal and login as root root sudo -i
2. Edit sources list nano /etc/apt/sources.list
3. Add row: deb http://repos.zend.com/deb/ce ce non-free
4. Get and install key: wget http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key -O- |apt-key add -
5. Update repository: apt-get update
6. Install Zend Server CE: aptitude install zend-ce

Install Xdebug

1. You have to have this packages installed: build-essential, autoconf.
   
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install autoconf
2. Get Xdebug source, unpack and compile.
   
wget http://www.xdebug.org/files/xdebug-2.0.4.tgz
tar -xzf xdebug-2.0.4.tgz
cd xdebug-2.0.4/
/usr/local/zend/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-xdebug --with-php-config=/usr/local/zend/bin/php-config
make
3. Compiled library is in xdebug-2.0.4/modules/xdebug.so
4. Copy library into /usr/local/zend/lib/debugger/xdebug.so

   cp modules/xdebug.so /usr/local/zend/lib/debugger/xdebug.so

5. Edit file /usr/local/zend/etc/ext.d/debugger.ini and comment row (add semicolon)

   ;zend_extension_manager.dir.debugger=/usr/local/zend/lib/debugger

6. Add at end /usr/local/zend/etc/php.ini new row with

   zend_extension=/usr/local/zend/lib/debugger/xdebug.so

7. Restart server /etc/init.d/zend-server restart

PHP Class for Hudson

I make php class for work with Hudson (http://code.google.com/p/php4hudson/). Is useful for save all jobs configs and deploy jobs on another server or some multichanges in jobs. Useful is easy and some example is in wiki.

Save all config.xml


/**
* Retrive all config.xml and save into directory
*/
require_once ("src/phphudson.php");
$hudson = new PhpHudson('http://localhost:8080/');
// save all jobs config into temp
$hudson->getAllConfigs("/tmp/hudson/");


Recreate all jobs


/**
* Read all config.xml from directory and create jobs in Hudson
*/
require_once ("src/phphudson.php");
$hudson = new PhpHudson('http://localhost:8080/');
$dir = '/tmp/hudson/';
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "$file\n";
$hudson->createJob(basename(str_replace("-config.xml", "", $file)), file_get_contents($dir . $file));
}
closedir($handle);
}


phpDepend and php frameworks

Php Depend

Php Depend is php fork of JDepend. pDepend traverses Php class file directories and generates design quality metrics for each php package. At chart you can see abstractness and instability at axis. This metric is an indicator of the package’s balance between abstractness and stability. At pyramid some data as  NOP (number of packages), NOC (number of classes), NOM (number of methods), LOC (line of code). Details about pyramid you find at Using the Overview Pyramid.

Summary

I’m not expert in QA. I have some experiences with integration php. I use phpunit, phpcs and Hudson for CPD, PMD, Code Coverage and Unit testing. For integration tests we use Selenuim and phpunit. Php Depend is good for some comparism between frameworks. Matrics can’t say how good is code in framework or if is good  for my project. Some numbers as ANDC (Average Number of Derived Classes) and AHH (Average Hierarchy Height) can give some image about programming style.

In article you have some comparism and i make this test every 6 months and after that will be results about progress in frameworks.

PHP and Hudson

Hudson is extensible continuous integration engine used for Java projects. It’s architecture can be used for others languages as PHP too.

Install

1. download war file
2. run direct in console java -jar hudson.war (free port 8080 andJDK 1.5+)
3. or make install to servlet server (Tomcat, Jetty, JBoss, …)
4. after that go http://localhost:8080
5. plugins recommended for php
   • Hudson Checkstyle Plug-in
   • Hudson Clover plugin
   • Hudson PMD Plug-in

Build

For build can use phing (example) or ant.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="start_page" basedir="." default="main">
<!-- $Id: build.xml 102 2009-02-26 14:39:10Z abtris $ -->

<property name="builddir" value="${tmp}/build/${phing.project.name}" override="true" />
<property name="srcdir"   value="./src/" override="true" />

<!-- Main Target -->

</target>
</project>
