Using Git Stash to Cache Your Pending Changes

This is just a quick tip which i stumbled upon this weekend. Let’s say you are working on a git branch with a unfinished amount of changes. Now you want to switch branches i.e. to lookup some older/newer value, but you do not want to commit your unfinished piece of work. The solution? git stash.

Symfony - Initialize Session From Request Parameter

Motivation

Working with HTML5 Audio Components, i realized Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome and Mobile Safari, do not send Domain Cookies when requesting a playable File, which required the necessity to import the sessionid before initalize session management.

Solution

I created my own SessionStorage class and adjusted the corresponding routes to have an session_id parameter.

Whereas sessionid is the routing parameter.

Symfony: Deliver Mobile Version of a Template Without Loosing the File Specific Sf_format Parameter

I needed a Server-Based mobile switch for my symfony-project. The solutions I found all used a workaround with setting the sf_format parameter to a specific mobile version. But what if you are using sf_format already for different view-types?

My Solution will use the Extension, so you can have multiple view-templates like:

  • actionSuccess.mobile.php
  • actionSuccess.php
  • actionSuccess.mobile.xml.php
  • actionSuccess.xml.php

I hope this is useful for somebdody! You might want to specify more parameters or make this a filter.
