Continuing in his series of interviews from this year’s OSCON, Cal Evans has posted this new interview he did with Andrei Zmievski.
This is another entry in the series of interviews I did at OSCON 2006. This time, I was privileged to sit down with Andrei Zmievski and talk about Unicode, Yahoo and other PHP topics. Andrei is a native of Uzbekistan and came to the US to study when he was 16 years old. He now works at Yahoo on their Infrastructure team and is pursuing a Master’s degree in Linguistics.
They talk about Unicode for PHP6 (Andrei’s big push), the status and some specifics of the project, his work wth Yahoo!, a look towards the future of PHP, and some of Andrei’s personal background - including how he came to the PHP community.

Continuing on in their latest series (begun with this part), DevShed has posted part two of their look at working with files in PHP - “Uploading Files and Navigating Directories in PHP”.
They jump right in, giving you the needed settings for your php.ini file to get the examples to work (mainly for the file uploads). They explain what a file upload form looks like and what some of the potential error codes could be.
The code comes next, showing a simple file upload form taking in the file, moving it off to another directory, and if there are errors, displaying them. The next obvious step up from a single file upload is the multiple file upload, and they show how to use PHP’s form handling of arrays to accomplish this.
Finally, they include a simple little script to read the directory the files are in and display the information about them (like size file, name, and modified date).
