Snow Leop­ard updated me to PHP 5.3 ok but it didn’t leave me with a work­ing php.ini. Just the php.ini.default.

The main upshot of this was bro­ken date and thus bro­ken header errors all over the shop. Rename the dea­f­ult to just php.ini (in /private/etc/ usu­ally) and got into it uncom­ment the date.timezone = and set it to your time­zone. Will look some­thing like this

[Date]

; Defines the default time­zone used by the date functions

; http://​php​.net/​d​a​t​e​.​t​i​m​e​z​one

date.timezone = Europe/London

I was com­mis­sioned to pro­duce a Mac Dash­board Cur­rency Con­verter Wid­get for World First (excel­lent com­pany) which i duly did and at the moment (early Novem­ber) it is not only the fea­tured down­load but is also num­ber one down­load. Talk about chuffed.

Aranaio num­ber 1 download.

Aranaio is my com­pany i use for devel­op­ment and work­ing under. But i kept the blog name as howitt, my name.
