PHP Error Class ‘XsltProcessor’ not found

If you get the following error message in PHP then it means you need to have the XSL extension installed. Obviously the /path/to/file.php will be the actual path and filename of the PHP script the error occured in, and the line number will be the actual line. The PHP manual says that "PHP 5 includes the XSL extension by default" but one of my CentOS 5 installations it didn’t seem to be; the following post looks at how to install this extension on CentOS 5.

Format a partition with the ext3 filesystem

The ext3 filesystem is a Linux filesystem with journalling capabilities. I’m always forgetting the command I need to run to format a partitition with the ext3 file system so have posted this article so I always have a easy to find reference for it… The example used here is done on the command line, and not using a GUI tool.

Displaying PHP APC Cache Information

APC is the Alternative PHP Cache, which is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code. I posted about how to install APC on Linux a couple of days ago, and will now look at the apc.php script which comes with APC and shows information about how much of the cache is being used, what files are being cached, the number of times they’ve been accessed etc.

Install APC for PHP on Linux

APC is the Alternative PHP Cache, which is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code. What this means is that APC reads your PHP files, parses them into a more efficient binary format and then caches them in memory so that each request for your PHP files and PHP library files can be fed from the parsed cache. This will generally lead to a speed increase when serving a PHP site, especially one with a lot of library files. This post looks at how to install APC for PHP on Linux. The Linux distribution I used was CentOS 5, but it should be fairly similar for most distros.
