C:\localhost\projectApp>php composer.phar update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies                                 
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires PHP extension ext-zend-opcache * but it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's zend-opcache extension.

Solution:

Edit your php.ini and add this:

zend_extension=C:/php/ext/php_opcache.dll

then uncomment ...

[opcache]
; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled
;opcache.enable=1

; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled for the CLI version of PHP
opcache.enable_cli=1

That's it! To confirm it, do:

Hello Agile/Scrum people ...

If you are looking for free planning poker, use http://www.freeplanningpoker.co.nz/ or http://www.freeplanningpoker.site/ or http://www.freeplanning.poker/ and there will be no ads or limitation of 5 users or 5 issues then try to force you to upgrade to premium. The limitation is like it can create 100 issues of each gameplay and of course limit to 8 players, more than that will be a conference already. So 8 users or players, cast a vote and get the score for your issues.

This application is used for team management amd planning for agile team.

I recently encountered a weird error on my repo when I "git push" or "git pull" in Windows 7. But when I tried it on my Mac, Ubuntu & Windows 10, its working fine.

As shown above, that's the error I am getting when I pull/push. I tried the solution from others:

But unfortunately it didn't resolve my problem. Somehow, it did made it a bit faster.

I already tried many things, but I cannot find any solution that works for my problem. I know that the issue is just in my PC, even tried emptying my hosts file still didn't work.

Then a lightbulb popup, maybe I should delete my current repo and checkout again. So I did and resolve my problem. I can pull and push after that.

I was looking for a plugin to implement 2FA in my mail server. I found alexandregz/twofactor_gauthenticator but its quite outdated and quirky. Seems not maintained. So I forked it, the foundation is there and just need to improve it.

After few days of work, here's my improved 2FA for RoundCube webmail. Please feel free to use it and it works well with RoundCube v1.5.x

I have been searching how my Symfony Command/Console can connect to the database using DBAL. Somehow there's no working solution that its not either deprecated or the solution was lower version of what I am looking for.

So I made my own solution, takes a while but it works.

1. I used the Symfony\Dotenv class to read the .env file and get DATABASE_URL value
2. Then I created a class to parse the DATABASE_URL value to Driver/Connection class required array structure (see screenshot below, $db_options variable)
3. then I instantiate Driver class and feed the parsed array and Driver to Connection (see sample code below)

Filename: DatabaseUrlEnvUtil

/**
 *  // mysql://root:secret@127.0.0.1:3306/dbname?serverVersion=5.7

 * Class DatabaseUrlEnvUtil
 * @package App\Utils

        ];

        $data = [];
        foreach($breakers as $key => $breaker) {

            $position = isset($breaker['position']) ? $breaker['position'] : 0;

            if (is_null($delimeter)) {
                continue;
            }

            if (is_array($delimeter)) {
                $tmp_data = $str;
                foreach($delimeter as $i => $item) {
                    $tmp = explode($item, $tmp_data);
                    $tmp_data = $tmp[$position[$i]];
                }
                $data[$key] = $tmp_data;
            } else {

I've been programming using PHP for a long time, and its funny I am struggling to do it on ASP.Net Core C#. In PHP, all you need to do is call the function "nl2br()" and that's it.

In this blog, I am reminding myself how to do it in ASP.Net Core C#. There are two ways how to resolve my issue:

I think that's it... Hope for the readers of this post looking for answers like me will help you as well.

Before going thru the steps below, you need to download the installers first at http://camilord.com/downloads/Apache2.4.48_PHP7.4.20.zip

Then, just extract the zip which will give you both apache (httpd-2.4.48-o111k-x64-vc15) and php (php-7.4.20-Win32-vc15-x64). They are also in a zip, extract it in "C:\" and rename it like below.

would look like:

C:\Apache24
C:\php

then in apache, go to httpd.conf and edit it.
Add the following lines:

# php 7.4.20 handler
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
LoadModule php7_module "c:/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "c:/php"

you can skip this step, you only do this when you have existing apache installation

httpd -k uninstall -n "Apache2.4"

then save it. go to Apache24\bin using CLI or powershell (as administrator) then run:

httpd.exe -k install -n "Apache2.4"

this will install as a service. then to start and stop

httpd -k start
httpd -k stop

or

net start "Apache2.4"
net stop "Apache2.4"

then for PHP, copy the php.ini-development as php.ini then adjust the necessary configuration
needed by your application. then since you're in dev mode, add this at the end of the php.ini:

[Xdebug]
zend_extension="C:/php/ext/php_xdebug-3.0.4-7.4-vc15-x86_64.dll"
xdebug.client_port="9003"
xdebug.mode=debug
;xdebug.mode=profile

you can find the file in this folder and make sure you copy that xdebug dll file to C:\php\ext\

then restart the apache…

and if you have changes in your php.ini on next edit, restart again your apache.

I decided to create another stage to test our API in GitLab CI runner using postman/newman. I made it work but there are issues from time to time like DNS issue and "container already in use" (see screenshot below). The common error that occurs most of the time is the DNS issue.

In my various experiments, I managed to resolve the `container already in use` issue by adding the container name with commit ID from gitlab.

However, since I implemented the commit ID on the container, the DNS issue reduced from 8/10 fails to 2/10 fails. It still fail time to time, its not perfect but for now its tolerable. I hope there's a better solution.
