Jason — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:04:53 +0000

XEWeb are proud to announce the release of Flintstone, a key/value database store using flat files for PHP.

Some of the features include:

Memory efficient
File locking
Caching
Gzip compression
Easy to use

All it requires is PHP 5 and read/write file permissions.

Take a look at example usage below:

try {

    // Load flintstone

    $db = new Flintstone(array('dir' => '/path/to/database/dir/'));

    // Set keys

    $db->load('users')->set('bob', array('email' => 'bob@site.com', 'password' => '123456'));

    $db->load('users')->set('joe', array('email' => 'joe@site.com', 'password' => 'test'));

    $db->load('settings')->set('site_offline', 1);

    $db->load('settings')->set('site_back', '3 days');

    // Retrieve keys

    $user = $db->load('users')->get('bob');

    echo 'Bob, your email is ' . $user['email'];

    $offline = $db->load('settings')->get('site_offline');

    if ($offline == 1) {

        echo 'Sorry, the website is offline
';

        echo 'We will be back in ' . $db->load('settings')->get('site_back');

    }

    // Delete a key

    $db->load('users')->delete('joe');

    // Flush database

    $db->load('users')->flush();

}

catch (Exception $e) {

    echo 'Exception: ' . $e->getMessage();

}

Tweet the Tube – Live train updates on twitter

I find it frustrating getting into London these days as there are always problems on the tube that causes delays.

To take action we have launched a new service dubbed “Tweet the Tube” which provides live updates whenever a tube service changes status, pulled straight from the Transport for London website and checked every 5 minutes.

All you have to do is follow “tweetthetube” on twitter: http://twitter.com/tweetthetube
