Mgccl let us know about a new bit of functionality he’s worked up to calculate a higher precision value of Pi than the built-in PHP function can.
I want to release some Benchmark system can be uploaded to any web host and check how good the web hosting is. Pi (π) calculations spread widely as one of the most popular CPU benchmark system, that’s why I have created a Pi calculator that can get to the accuracy you want. For now, there is still one thing I’m not sure yet, I will explain it after show you the code.
The function is provided (that takes in the precision value you want) and a brief explanation of what it does differently and a reason why to use it over the built-in function.

Dennis Popel submitted a link to a tutorial over on onPHP5.com that talks about obfuscated email address. Not just any email addresses though - his example keeps them clickable but out of the way of spambots trying to harvest.
Of course you all know that keeping email addresses in plain form in web pages means give them for free to spam bots. […] This approach, while strong, leaves your pages without very convenient functionality, though. […] This means that another method, non-image protection of email addresses must be used, which will be able to preserve the benefits of clickable email addresses that, however, are safe from spam bots.
His method revolves around character substitution - swapping out the values in the email addresses with the ASCII codes they correspond to. Of course, this still doesn’t solve the usability for humans, it only blocks the automated email harvesters. So, to get things back to where we can use them, he defines a Javascript function that reads the obfuscated email and passes it along to the page as a normal, clickable email link.

On the Smarx.com blog today, there’s a new post that talks about the developer’s (Steve Marx) latest creation - the PHP for Microsoft AJAX Library.
I shipped the first public release of my own product today to coincide with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0. My project is called PHP for Microsoft AJAX Library, a small library to help PHP applications make use of the Microsoft AJAX Library. This is a shared source project under the Microsoft Permissive License, and I’d love your contributions!
The general idea behind the library is to create an easy to use link between PHP applications and the ASP.NET AJAX functionality. He gives an illustration of a simple web service (a “Hello World” type) with both the PHP script and the corresponding HTML to interface with it.

Mac OS X PHP developers, listen up - Greg Beaver has a word of advice for you about your default PEAR installation:
I won’t get into the questionable business practice of shipping software with known security holes that have had known fixes for years. Instead, I would like to offer simple step-by-step instructions of how to upgrade from outdated buggy PEAR versions to the latest stable release, 1.5.0.
You’re five simple steps away from having an upgraded installation, all using the built-in pear installer and go-pear functionality.
