I finally got shipping on WooCommerce set up for one of my clients. It was rather difficult to figure out how to make it work exactly. I know that WooCommerce offers a table rate shipping extension, but I, nor my client, wanted to invest $200 in a plugin that we weren’t sure would work for […]

Several years ago, every website I built was built in symfony. This was back in the symfony 1.0 and 1.5 days. I loved symfony. After building sites in homegrown PHP, trying out Joomla! and Drupal, symfony was a breath of fresh air and allowed me to build sites VERY quickly. There was only one small

There are many PHP frameworks out there such as Symfony, Zend, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, and many more. I don’t know that any framework is better in all things than any other framework.

I’ve worked on several sites lately where my client wanted each of their website members to have their own subdomain. Typically, when you set up a subdomain it takes up to 72 hours for the DNS to propagate and start working. I’ve been trying to find a way to allow subdomains to start working right
