The Bakery has four new items posted today - articles and tutorials on a few different subjects:
- Multiple files upload in v1.2 - “Are you wondering how to upload more than one file by CakePHP? Today I wrote this solution.”
- TuneShout.com: Music Downloads and CakePHP - “How I used CakePHP to build TuneShout.com, a socially controlled online music network and store.”
- Zip Component - “I am currently building a web 2.0 implementation of Bake that allows users to create their entire application in a friendly web environment and than creates a zip on demand.”
- Uuid Behavior - “I have a requirement to use UUID’s as primary keys. I was initially using MySQL triggers to call uuid() on insert but in the end decided a behavior makes more sense. This behavior adds a UUID to the field specified in your models.”

Lukas Smith is sending a wakeup call to the internet providers and web hosters out there - get involved in the PHP community!
We do not seem to have any ISP’s active inside the PHP community. This is kind of odd, considering that PHP seems to be driving the business of hosters quite a bit. Why have none of them decided that PHP is important enough for their business that its worthwhile to ensure that their interests are taken into account?
He makes the suggestion of passing along the suggestion to bosses/co-workers/anyone who’ll listen about getting involved. Suggested places to start would be as a part of the testers group or even contributing to the migration guide.

There may only be just 4 million+ of us Irish folk, but we do have an Irish PHP User Group which started up recently. If you’re anywhere near Dublin or Cork cities on the last Wednesday of any month, meetings are held at 8pm on those days
If you’d like more information on the group there’s on of two places to check them out - either on their website with details about meetings and group news or over on the irc.php.ie IRC server in the #phpug channel for more interactive information.

As previously mentioned, Nick Halstead will be revealing the top three places in the results from the programming competition he was hosting. Today starts the top three list with third place - an entry from Karol Grecki:
I was really impressed with Karol’s entry and if it was not for the fact that it did not ‘run out of the box’ it would have been a close cut thing to be the winner. The fact is that because it was a pain to get running the two other judges only gave it 1 point each.
Karol’s website or just download the code and play along at home.
