Tech notes
The technical archive
Focused write-ups of single technical problems and how I solved them. Mostly a 2010–2014 PHP and Symfony archive, now being added to again.
One specific problem, one solution, no preamble.
Most of what’s here is archive. Between 2010 and 2014 I wrote a lot about PHP, Symfony, Drupal, and the web stack of the day. Plenty of it has aged badly enough that it won’t run against a current version. It still gets found and still gets used, so it stays.
I’m adding current notes as I go.
