PHP Developer - January 22nd, 2007
Damien Seguy (maintainer of the French PHP site, Nexen.net) has passed along two new helpful links for those checking out the site - one specifically for the English-speaking audience out there and the other an effort to consolidate the distributions out there.
Two pieces of news for you - I have set up a page which collect all English articles on Nexen.net. http://www.nexen.net/the_english_speaking_nexen.net.php That’s not much, but it will help non-French speaking readers.
I collected the list of PHP and MySQL distributions. Nowadays, there are way too many sources for those too technologies to be downloaded from: official version, snaps, installers, source, binaries, source control…So I made a list of them, and they are now in one place to be found.
The “one place” is this page on Nexen.net gives the latest on PHP, MySQL, and the packages that combine them for an easier install.

Jacek Artymiak published the second edition of his “Dynamic Bitmap Graphics with PHP and GD” tutorial over on DevGuide.net today focusing specifically on creating bitmaps on the fly.
The 39 page guide ($15 USD from Lulu.com) provides a wealth of knowledge about working with graphics in PHP including a detailed look at some of the more advanced functionality of GD. The book covers your first steps with GD and graphics, working with primitives, creating an image based on external data, and embedding them into an XHTML/HTML page of your choosing.
The page for the book on DevGuide.net itself even provides a great list of resources for those looking to get into graphics with PHP - with links to everything from the basic software (webservers, PHP, etc) out to the libraries you’ll need and some other tutorials to help you even after you’ve worked through the book.

In an effort to keep track of some of the lesser seen patches to the core of PHP, the Zend Developer Zone has started a weekly summary that talks about the PAT directory:
The PAT directory contains patches (fixes and improvements for the C source code behind PHP) that have been sent to the internal developers’ mailing list by members of the wider PHP community. The mailing list is fairly busy - as are the developers - and patches aren’t always noticed by someone able to review and perhaps apply them; this can lead to people repeatedly mailing the same patch to the list in the belief that they’re being ignored!
The idea behind the posts is to provide a listing of those patches for those looking for them (including the PHP dev team) until they’ve been evaluated and moved out of the PAT directory purgatory.

Richard Heyes has posted a quick script to help you tailor your site to the browser a viewer is using.
If you ever wanted some browser detecion code, here it is. It works along the same lines as the Ultimate Javascript Client Side Detector, however it’s server side. It doesn’t pollute the global namespace (much), and it’s very simple. Just include the code and call the function. Easy.
The code is as simple to use as an include and a call to the GetUserAgent function to get what you need. You can download the script here.
