In a new post to his blog today, Mike Potter talks about the WebORB for PHP software and a new feature based on Adobe technology - a Flex-based console.
[It] includes a service browser, as well as a number of useful examples, showing both the client side code (in Flex) and server side code in PHP. The getting started guide (again, built into the console or available on the web) provides a good tutorial for creating your first WebORB powered application.
He likes the project overall, but notes a small issue he has with starting a new project - a prompt to use the Flex Data Services. Overall, though, he has high hopes for the future of the project.

For those of you anxiously anticipating the results of the PHP programming competition put on by The Programming and Management blog, Nick Halstead has posted an update to help keep you up to date.
The judging of the PHP competition is taking a lot longer than I first thought! I started with 40+ entries which I reduced down by trying them one by one (very slow!) some of them quickly stood out and I got the list down to 12 entries. […] I then went through those top 12 and re-tested more thoroughly trying out further words/dictionaries plus quick checks for robustness and quality of presentation. This then left me with 6 entries which I would then email out to the other Judges.
The final judging of these last six is dependent on how each of the judges rank the applications overall. Nick also includes some of the comments made by the judges already about the applications they’re reviewing.

Jonathan Snook has posted some of his first impressions of the Zend Framework to his blog today - and so far, they’re pretty good:
Last week, the first production release of the Zend Framework was released. I’ve taken some time to read through the documentation to understand what each of the components do. And you know what? I think I like it.
He talks about what the framework is, how it compares to the CakePHP framework and his example of making a simple del.icio.us class to pull recent posts from a feed.

On the Spindrop blog today, Dave Dash posts about how he used the sfDoctrine plugin functionality to match allowed email domains for their website’s registration.
I’m a co-founder at an online finance web site and I’m in charge with building out the site. Our rollout strategy is to let a a handful of companies at a time, so we’re limiting registration based on your company’s email address. I decided to follow the bandwagon and use PHP Doctrine.
His example code sets up the company information in objects that are validated against from a validateSignup (and match) function in the application.
