I am trying to debug a problem with SimplePie (RSS/ATOM feed parser) as used in Joomla! 1.5.14 (latest). Having identical (out of the box) installations on different hosting providers I notice a strange problem with the XML parser (as used in SimplePie). I have absolutely no experience with the XML parser used in PHP by the way. As far as I can see the installations are identical except for the libXML and PHP version numbers (libXML version 2.6.27 (PHP Version 5.2.10) on installations working OK and libXML version 2.7.3 (PHP Version 5.2.8 ) on installitions having problems).

method_exists() vs. is_callable()
One thing I often see when re-factoring PHP applications, is the improper use of the method_exists() function, and I think this needs a little bit of clarification. Here is a typical example of what I’m talking about: The purpose of this code snippet is quite easy to understand (even if I don’t encourage to do this kind of not-very-OOP-stuff): having an object named “$object”, we try to know if it has a method named “SomeMethod”, if so, we call it, and provide some arguments to it. Yes, but… This code will probably run very well during all its lifetime, but what if the object’s method is not visible from the current scope (like… a private or protected method)?If you’ve never written code to animate inside the browser, you can stop reading :) What is requestAnimationFrame? In your animation work, you’ve used a timer loop to make changes every few milliseconds. Good for us: browser vendors have decided, “hey, why don’t we just give you an API for that, because we can probably optimize some things for you.” So it’s basic API for use with animation, whether that be DOM-based styling changes, canvas or WebGL.
