For javascript compression, merging etc on Aptana (…eclipse…) use:

Imagine you hava list of jobs that are dependant on each other.
First job converts video from one format to another, second job should trigger if first job was successful and do some status updating. This is exactly a thing Task Spooler will help you with.
It will prevent simultaneous video conversions by queuing them to run one after another.

Downside is that it listens to port 80 and I haven’t found a way to change that port. This is a “bad” thing because most people have apache listening on port 80 too, so to restart apache you will need to kill all Task Spooler processes or you will get an error that goes something like this:
Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down.

I will probably play with it some more and try to build out of the box methods for callbacks…

After toying with fresh ffmpeg-php 0.6.0 I kept getting error:
Fatal error: failed to convert frame to gd image

Problem lies in broken function _php_avframe_to_gd_image in ffmpeg_frame.c, in the base ffmpeg-php package.
To fix this problem download this patch file and apply it to ffmpeg_frame.c like so:

cd /path/to/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/
wget http://hazaah.com/download/ffmpeg_frame.c.patch
patch -p0 ffmpeg_frame.c < ffmpeg_frame.c.patch

Reinstall ffmpeg-php && restart apache.

Thats all.

Tested in Firefox, IE6+, Safari and Chrome.

Nifty feature is that you don’t have to worry about turning off debug on production version of your website. Simply populate $ips array with IP addresses you are using and debug will be displayed only to you.

To display mysql errors in this debug, use trigger_error function (example trigger_error($sql.’ ‘.mysql_error($link) ,’DB_ERROR’);)

$ips = array('127.0.0.1','88.99.109.119');
set_error_handler("ErrorHandler");

function ErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
	global $error_handler;

	if (preg_match("/DB_ERROR/iUs", $errno))
	{
		$error_handler[] = "DB_ERROR* $errstr\n" . "Fatal error on line $errline in $errfile";
	}

    switch ($errno) {
   	case E_ERROR:
    case E_USER_ERROR:
        $error_handler[] = "E_USER_ERROR $errstr on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

    case E_WARNING:
	case E_USER_WARNING:
        $error_handler[] = "E_USER_WARNING on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

    case E_NOTICE:
	case E_USER_NOTICE:
        $error_handler[] = "NOTICE on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

	case E_PARSE:
        $error_handler[] = "E_PARSE on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

	case E_STRICT:
        $error_handler[] = "E_STRICT on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

	case E_DEPRECATED:
        $error_handler[] = "E_STRICT on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;

    default:
        $error_handler[] = "UNKNOWN on line $errline in $errfile. $errstr\n";
        break;
    }
    return true;
}

function display_debug()
{
	global $error_handler, $_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, $_REQUEST, $ips;

	if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ips))

function smarty_function_module($params, &$smarty)
{
	/* Check if required params are valid */
	if (!isset($params['class']))
	{
		$smarty->trigger_error('Module name is not defined!');
		return false;
	}
	if (!isset($params['method']))
	{
		$smarty->trigger_error('Method name is not defined!', E_USER_ERROR);

		return false;
	}

	return call_user_func($params['class'].'::'.$params['method'], $params);
}

Example usage:
{module class=”CLASS_NAME” method=”CLASS_METHOD_NAME” param1=”string1″ param2=77}

Your class method will receive one parameter (associative array), which will contain all parameters passed to smarty function. I this example array would look like this:

Array
(
    [class] => 'CLASS_NAME'
    [method] => 'CLASS_METHOD_NAME'
    [param1] => 'string1'
    [param2] => 77
)

To install this plugin simply create file named function.module.php in smarty plugins folder and copy&paste function to that file.
