DevShed has posted the second installment of their look at the Abstract Factory pattern in a new tutorial - “Creating AJAX Requester Objects with Abstract Factory Classes in PHP 5″.

Derick Rethans has announced today (briefly) the release of the Release Candidate version of his PHP debugging package - XDebug 2.0.0RC3.
I just released Xdebug 2.0.0RC3 through the web site and also through PECL. This hopefully last release candidate of Xdebug 2.0.0 addresses a number of segfaults and other small bugs that crept in in Xdebug 2.0.0RC2.
