To get an access token with the Instagram Graph API PHP SDK, users must first login through the Facebook login dialog. Facebook will then send the user back to your redirect uri with a code variable in the url which you then exchange for an access token. We can also debug an acc…
In this post we learn how to obtain and access token from the Instagram Basic Display API with a code passed to us from Instagram once the user has authorized our application. The access token we get is short lived meaning it will only be valid for an hour or so. In the next blo…

On Mar 25, 2026 I gave a talk at a devs.gent Meetup. The talk was called “Cranking View Transtions up to 11” and explored the more adventurous side of View Transitions. Ever wondered what happens when you push the View Transition API beyond its documented limits? This talk throw…
Hey Folks! React 16.3 has a new Context API which makes accessing data and functions anywhere in your application a snap. If you ever find yourself passing data down via props 4-5 levels deep, context might be what you are looking for. Enjoy! Code Examples available at https://g…
Flexbox is unbelieveable – it’s not only making complex layouts easier to build, it’s starting to push the limits of what we can do in the browser and in turn makes us better designers. Yeah it’s a bit hard to learn. Yeah there are bugs. Yeah the API is f…
It is official: MySQL listens to HTTP and speaks JSON. MySQL got a new plugin that lets HTTP clients and JavaScript users connect to MySQL using HTTP. The development preview brings three APIs: key-document for nested JSON documents, CRUD for JSON mapped SQL tables and plain SQL…
PECL/mysqlnd_ms is a client-side load balancer for PHP that supports any MySQL cluster. It does read-write splitting, failover, introduces a quality of service concept, supports partitioning and, of course, load balancing. New mysqli API (begin, *savepoint) calls in PHP 5.5.0 he…
Developers have been using Ajax techniques for years to create dynamic web forms, but handling file uploads using Ajax was always problematic. The crux of the problem was security – it's not a good idea to allow arbitrary code access to any file it wants on a user's system so Ja…

The HTTP Plugin for MySQL offers three APIs: REST-like CRUD, REST-like JSON DOCUMENT and SQL. The SQL API lets you run any SQL you want. Including, for example, DROP mysql.users if you mess up your setup. Insecure? It depends on your viewpoint. It’s more than just another …
PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.6 is currently being modified to support sharding and fully automatic server and client failover when using MySQL Fabric (slides) to manage a farm of MySQL servers. PECL/mysqlnd_ms is a mostly transparent load balancer that works with all PHP MySQL APIs (PDO_My…
It is time for christmas presents: some sharding support and cache locality optimizations are coming with PECL/mysqlnd_ms 1.5. PECL/mysqlnd_ms is a plugin for the mysqlnd library. The plugin adds replication and load balancing support to any PHP MySQL API (mysql, mysqli, PDO_MyS…
Symfony AI is approaching its 1.0 release — so let’s take a tour. In this first post of this series, we introduce the Platform component — the foundation layer that connects your PHP application to the world of AI. The AI landscape is fragmented. Every provider ships its own API…
Laravel Cloud's API lets AI agents deploy, scale, and manage infrastructure through conversation. See how Florian built a working OpenClaw skill in a few hours.
While reviewing pull requests it often happened to me that I missed a new public (or even protected) method being added. A public constant slips in. A new property with a suboptimal name or type. This is in general not a huge deal in closed source projects, but on open source li…
Today I’m sharing a quick-and-dirty script to take an OpenAPI description, spin up a docs server locally, and copy the URL into your clipboard. I also use a bit of glob expansion in my script to find the right folder, because I have a lot of APIs with long and formulaic di…

The more I work on API standards, the more I realise how few teams understand that they can adopt the standards and, without breaking any contract, adapt them to make a strong interface for their own application. One of my favourite examples is to add enums where a standard inte…

Sometimes we land on an unfamiliar GitHub repository and the first problem is not writing code. The real problem is understanding the project fast enough. Is this a REST API? Where are the entrypoints? How is the application wired? Are there obvious risks in the codebase? If the…
Most organizations already have REST APIs. They power internal dashboards, connect microservices, expose data to mobile apps. They work. But now you want an AI agent to use those same services, and agents don’t speak REST. They speak MCP. Do you rewrite everything? No. You build…
AI can now generate software at a speed that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Entire modules, APIs, and test suites appear in seconds. Boilerplate disappears. Refactoring becomes conversational. But underneath the acceleration, nothing fundamental about software engi…
