On the Zend Developer Zone, there’s a new post that has the info on how you could get your hands on a free copy of Zend’s Studio software (a $300 USD value).
My good friend Avigail was kind enough to cough up some copies of Zend Studio and even a license for Zend Guard. […] We’ve got a quiz (No, not a survey, a quiz!) to test your mad Zend Studio skillz. If you don’t have said skillz, I’d suggest downloading the Free 30 Day Trial of Zend Studio and develop them.
Once you are a Studio-Fu master, take the quiz by clicking on this link.
First prize is a Zend Studio perpetual license + Zend Guard annual license, second prize (3 winners) are licenses for Zend Studio Professional, and third prize winners (200 winners) get a 50% off coupon for a purchase of Zend Studio.

WebReference.com has posted part two in their series looking at security techniques in PHP. This time they focus on the use of a few things - the PECL filter, the PEAR Auth module and mcrypt.
For each of the three topics covered, they include a few code examples on their use - an HTML form with the filter extension, user authentication with the PEAR Auth, and encrypting data to be used in a more secure cookie.
The article is excerpted from PHP 5 Advanced: Visual QuickPro Guide by Larry Ullman.

The International PHP Magazine has posted the results for this week’s poll that asked which, of the options given, was what made the CodeIgniter framework the best.
There were only four options this time:
- Saves Time and Code for Simple things
- Based on MVC pattern
- Easy to Extend
- Flexibility to create own libraries and helpers
Coming in in a close race for second and first were the “flexibility” and “saves time” options (with the first beating the other by less than 2 percent).
Be sure to check out and cast your vote in their latest poll posted this week that asks “What’s the best way to do QA in PHP?”

The Zend Developer Zone has has announced the official release of the latest version of their framework - Zend Frameowrk 1.0.0 RC1.
This is the home stretch toward 1.0! Everyone has worked very hard for many months, and we are very close to finishing what we set out to do with Zend Framework 1.0. This Release Candidate is intended to show the complete set of features Zend Framework 1.0 has.
Following the final 1.0 release, Zend Framework will continue to grow and improve, but there will be a great emphasis on maintaining backward-compatibility. That has been the mission of Zend Framework from the beginning, to provide a professional web framework with quality and stability.
Included in the release announcement are spotlights on things like improvements to Zend_Controller, Zend_Gdata, Zend_Db, Zend_Filter_Input and Zend_Service_StrikeIron.
You can download this latest release at http://framework.zend.com or check out the Changelog for more info in the changes from 0.9.3.
