Last week when I was in Miami to speak at the SunshinePHP 2016 conference I took the time to prepare the version 0.2.0 release of our PHP DI container called Disco. This release features 2 important changes which I want to highlight in this blog post.
In the past few weeks I built a few cli applications with Symfony Console and Disco, the DI container we open sourced last year. I wanted to figure ouf if we run into issues with Disco that we need to work on. The main script looks like this:
Recently I experimented a bit with Doctrine ORM and the willdurand/Hateoas library to expose my Doctrine objects via an HATEOAS api which luckily is a fairly trivial thing to do. All you need to do is set up the Hateoas serializer and call the respective serialize() method passing your Doctrine object as well the serialization type:
A few month ago, I wrote an article about some PHPExcel performance tweaks. Sadly we encountered some nasty memory exhaustion issues while reading big XLSX files with PHPExcel.

A few weeks back we released a Prophiler PSR-7 middleware which we created during a hack session on Adroit, our little, clever ADR middleware implementation. I`d like to show you how to integrate the Prophiler middleware in a zend-expressive application. As it turns out this is super simple.
Counting is a slow measure in Postgresql, and it is even slower with a lot of data and complex statements. This issue is related with the kind of how the data consistency is implemented. As a result Postgresql must check the visiblity of all rows first and so it has to iterate over them all.
