php|works features a good mix of theoretical and practical sessions, including our traditional "Bring Your Own Laptop" (BYOL) hands-on sessions, where you can work on practical problems with world-class PHP experts. The BYOL sessions allow attendees to work with the speaker to solve problems, test code, and interact with a live PHP-enabled Web server.
We are pleased to provide all of our attendees with a personal Web account on our dedicated conference server. This includes FTP access, full PHP 5 support, and access to a MySQL MySQL databases.
Your username and password are provided on a sticker that is affixed to the back of your badge. If your badge doesn't have a sticker, please contact the conference staff and we'll be pleased to provide you with one.
FTP
Access to the server (to place files in your Web root, for example) is provided by FTP. You will need an FTP client to transfer files. If you do not yet have an FTP client, we recommend Windows users download and install Filezilla, which is available from from our local mirror. For Mac users, we recommend Cyberduck, which is also available from our local mirror. If you're on Linux or another Unix-like system, you probably already have a client installed.Once you have an FTP Client, use the following parameters:
Host: byol.phparch.com
User: (your username can be found on the sticker that is affixed to your badge)
Password: (see sticker)
FTP accounts are chrooted to your home directory (you will be unable to access other users' files).
HTTP
The Web server (httpd) can be accessed via http://byol.phparch.com/.
Your personal Web roots are located at:
http://byol.phparch.com/u/<your username>.
For example, if your username is bender, your personal Web root can
be located at: http://byol.phparch.com/u/bender/.
PHP
We are pleased to offer PHP 5.1.2 (ubuntu build) on the BYOL server, as well as
a number of PHP modules.
You can see the server's PHP-related capabilities on the phpinfo() page.
Note: we have restricted PHP's ability to access files outside of your webroot
with open_basedir.
MySQL
MySQL Version 5.0.22 (also the ubuntu build) is available on the BYOL server.
Each user is provided a personal account and associated database.
For example, if your username is bender, your MySQL username would be
bender (your password can be found on your badge sticker), and your personal
database is bender. Databases are accessible from localhost.
Shell
No shell/SSH access to the BYOL server has been granted. Please use FTP to
transfer files to/from the BYOL server.
Playing Nice
In order to provide the best user experience to our attendees, we have
configured the server with a few fundamental security considerations,
but for the most part, we have chosen to trust users.
If you're inclined to violate this trust, please think again. The BYOL server is a shared resource for all conference attendees, and anyone found to be abusing this service will have all accounts suspended. Please be nice to your fellow attendees.
