Upgraded to WordPress 1.2
May 26th, 2004Well, I upgraded to WordPress 1.2 today. Things did not go without a hitch. The cookie format changed, so I had to remove my cookies before I could log back in to the admin section. My feeds were down for part of the day until I realized I had to update my [...]
Exceptional PHP
May 24th, 2004With PHP 5 adding exceptions, I imagine that the PHP community will have to undergo a bit of a paradigm change regarding PHP error handling.
