PHP Developer - February 12th, 2007
On the Zend Developer Zone, Cal Evans has posted a quick look at one of the new offerings from the Manning Publishing group - “PHP in Action”.
My buddy Olivia over at Manning Publications sent us a present recently. They are working on the title PHP in Action and they sent us a chapter to share with you. PHP in Action is scheduled to release in April of this year but it’s available now in “Manning Early Release Program”, or MEAP. MEAP is a cool program that allows you to buy the book long before it is released and have access to the chapters as they are released. Then, when the final dead-tree edition ships, they will send you one. The great thing is, there is no additional cost for MEAP.
He links to the book’s description on the Manning site and gives some credit to the authors, Dagfinn Reiersol with Marcus Baker and Chris Shiflett. And, of course, the link to the sample chapter from the book - a look at Design Patterns.

Greg Beaver, PEAR guru extraordinaire, has added a new post to his blog encouraging the use of the PEAR installer to help manage and deploy your website to a production server.
One of the most common tasks that we experience as web developers is synchronizing a development web server with a live site. There are many solutions that have been tried before. […] However, every single method (described above) has the potential for immediate and catastrophic failure, even with a backup.
He suggests the use of the PEAR installer functionality along with version control to easily deploy a site, allowing for things file dependencies and versioning. So, if files are handled through that package, how is the database managed? Through another PEAR-related feature - the post-install database initialization the Installer makes possible. Check out Greg’s post for the full details on how to get you and your site started.

Stefan Esser has a post to the PHP Security Blog about his “Month of PHP Bugs” (March 2007) that will be happening and some of the new effects that the recent release of PHP 5.2.1 has had on it.
Today PHP 5.2.1 was released which fixes some (but not all) of the bugs I will cover in the “Month of PHP bugs”. Actually the release announcement already gives a list of bugs that were fixed.
He also comments on the reporting of the bugs in the Changelog and updates in the release announcements and how they’re handled.
