Friday April 25, 2008 PHP Sample Application in NetBeans 6.1
My first PHP sample application for NetBeans has been integrated into the 6.1 nightly build. I wrote this app. mostly to highlight PHP semantics and the OOP part of PHP, but an interesting side effect is that I started appreciating NetBeans 6.1 PHP code aid capabilities.
So try out this app. today:
1. You need to install the 6.1 Nightly Build.
2. From Tools > Plugin option install both PHP(if not already installed) and PHP Samples modules.
3. Create a MySQL DB by name 'AirAlliance'.
4. Create New Project > PHP Samples > AirAlliance.
5. View Readme.html file under the project dir.
Run the SQL dump script from the SQL sub dir. to populate the table schema and sample records. Run the project and browse around.
Use NetBeans 6.1 for your PHP development. Know more about PHP support for NetBeans from this page.

Thursday April 03, 2008 Workaround for VBox-Indiana Nic Issue
In my earlier entry, I posted an issue with using Indiana Preview2 as guest OS with VirtualBox due to pcn driver restrictions. The network gets disabled. Alan shows you how you can get an open source driver alternative that works just great. But why the pain? You can use VirtualBox's multiple NIC simulation feature to simulate a different and supported type.
Under Settings > Network, choose Intel PRO/1000 adapter type to simulate a e1000g0 driver in Indiana instead of the default PCnet type. And you are done.
