Merry christmas and a happy new year
Good morning.
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and are making great plans for new year celebrations. I have put the sugar sync Linux client on hold for the moment, as i am finishing a client website at the moment which is taking up a fair bit of time.
In February I start my "computer and mathematical sciences" degree so will have a bit less time to do my projects so if anyone would like to contribute to the sugar sync Linux client i am more then happy to get the ball rolling.
Have a wonderful new year.

Error Handling & Deleted Files
I have updated git (eventually) with a few updates...
Now if we cannot connect to the database it exits gracefully (thanks to Russell for testing that one) and also a safety feature - When a file is "deleted" it is now moved to the "deleted files" folder on the sugarsync web directory.
you should be able to get the code from https://github.com/markwillis82/Sugar-Sync-Linux-Client if not - email me and i'll test it is up there correctly

SugarSync Joy – file renaming and deletes
Good evening,
I have added support for file renames (currently only within the same working directory - but this is on my list to fix) and file deletes, so the code is now volatile (in such that it can delete data from the Sugarsync servers, with no restore available)
I'm going to work on fixing a big bug for the moment now these core features are in, then start on a "copy" trick i'm thinking about (if a file is copied locally without change - I should be able to copy the remote file without requiring an upload)
I am going to ask a quick question... As this app is daemon/command line based, I am more then willing to build a web GUI for it.
Either making apache a pre-requisite or building something like tomcat and using a different port to enable a gui.
I would love to build a little system tray icon and bits - but it's not my language.
Also if any graphic designers (sugarsync design team 
) want to come onboard with some designing work (I'm a developer not a designer) i'll be more then willing to share my ideas.
I've updated git with my most recent changes
Thanks

Good News - my SugarSync client is now in alpha - with the ability to download and upload files and folders based on last modified times.
I will provide some initial source code once I have tidied it up a bit and done some more extensive testing.

Symfony Components – Usable Independantly
One feature I like about symfony is the ability to use each component independantly of the entire framework, It's just a case of downloading the library and using straight away.
I have been looking at PHPUnit and symfony's own "lime" unit tester and although PHPUnit is good, I'm prefering the lime as it is easier to read (and even better with the lime extra plugin).
With the component base of symfony you can also use lime in non-symfony based projects. So I can use the same unit testing framework for all my projects.
This is another plus for symfony. Some components are available at symfony components.

Sort Multidimensional array by order of an array
Although the title of this post may sound confusing - what I achieved was an extremely useful function. Whilst building a website using SphinxSearch for some search results - after using MySQL to get the data I needed:
PHP retrieves a set of id's from sphinx (4,5,2,34,1,453,3)
SELECT id,name,url FROM table WHERE id IN (4,5,2,34,1,453,3);

eAccelerator review
eAccelerator seems to be compared to APC for it's caching + accelerator performance. But eAccelerator has one major advantage to APC and that is file caching. If your server runs low on RAM or your eAccelerator config hits it's own memory limit then the cache can start to store on the disk as well (or choose to store all the cache on disk and leave RAM for other processes).
This is excellent for shared hosting servers / or dedicated servers used for multiple services.
eAccelerator contains a PHP encoder and loader (although the current RC doesn't). You can encode PHP scripts using encoder.php in order to distribute them without sources. Encoded files can then be run on any site which runs PHP with eAccelerator. The sources of encoded scripts can't be restored because they are stored in a compiled form and the encoded version doesn't contain the source. Of course, some internals of the scripts can be restored with different reverse engineering tools (disassemblers, debuggers, etc), but it is not trivial.
eAccelerator stores compiled PHP scripts in shared memory and executes code directly from it, this is a great speed increase as the PHP engine does not have to pre-compile a script before executing
eAccelerator is compatible with Zend Optimizer's loader. Zend Optimizer must be installed after eAccelerator in php.ini. If you don't use scripts encoded with Zend Encoder then we do not recommend you install Zend Optimizer with eAccelerator.
