- 9. Oh is that all? Unit tests (phpunit, simpletest) Database deployment (dbdeploy) Lint (PHP, JS, XML) Reporting (code coverage, PHPDoc, DocBLox) Not enough? Write your own Tasks or Exec
- 10. What Phings can I use?
- 11. How's it work? Phing shell script, launches Phing PHP App + your XML build file Build file contains: - Properties - Targets - Tasks flickr.com/photos/jm3/4814208649
- 12. Hello World!
- 13. Example build script
- 15. phing clean
- 16. prepare
- 17. deploy staging
- 18. deploy live
- 19. Continuous Integration Remove reliance on Human nature Regular automated builds (phing/ant) Report on build status
- 20. CI Reports For many of the tools we're already familiar with Phing targets: - phpcs, pdepend, phpcpd, phpmd, phpunit, phpcb etc.
- 22. Phing - context Phing vs. Ant: Ant is inspiration for Phing. Phing doesn't need JVM & is LGPL (Ant: Apache v2) Phing 1: PHP4 Phing 2: PHP5.2+ phing version 2.4.9 Michiel Rook: Project Lead @michieltcs

- #5: Phing = PHing Is Not Gnu make\n\nDeveloper build toolkit - tool for every job (almost)!\nLGPL Licensed\n\nMy knowledge of Phing about 20%, however there's great documentation!\n
- #6: Web applications require deployment, packaging, testing, setting permissions, configuration, creating log files\nDoing so by hand every time is scary!\n

- #10: Project: root XML node\nTargets: collection of tasks, together for a reason\nTasks: call to specific action e.g. copy, symlink etc.\n

- #13: Fileset selectors - powerful matching, as well as **\ndate based, size, file/dir, related files present\nMapper - also a good tool, convert filenames during build\nFilters (filterchains) - transform data during build, e.g. strip comments, replace values in config files (via regex)\n<php> task - evaluate PHP expression/Fn call result stored in property\nEmbed PHP direct in build file using <adhoc> task (Needs to be <adhoc><![CDATA[...]]></adhoc>\n

- #18: CI Tools watch for commits, then kick start the build process, in this case Phing\nAlternatives to Jenkins: CruiseControl (Phing builder), Xinc - PHP CI tool, uses Phing\n
