The DeveloperTutorials website has a new article that steps you through the creation of an autoresponder script for an email account (in qmail).
It’s very convenient for users to be able to communicate with web applications (or businesses) via email, but it’s not always easy for the employees of the company to respond. Some of the email requests could be complex, and others could be simple but occur very frequently. So it’s a real advantage when we can write scripts to respond to user emails for us.
The tutorial sets up a basic structure for you to work from including places for the addresses and extra headers for the response. You can also download the code to have it to follow along with (or play around with yourself).

The IBM developerWorks website has posted the first part of a series they’ve created to help PHP developers become more informed about what regular expressions are and how they can harness their power for their applications.
Pattern matching is such a common chore for software that a special shorthand — regular expressions — has evolved to make light work of the task. Learn how to use this shorthand in your code here in Part 1 of this “Mastering regular expressions in PHP” series.

I am continually flustered by the myths, half-truths and outright falsehoods that technical and non-technical people alike hold about this humble programming language.
Some of the points included in his “top ten” list are things like “PHP Encourages Sloppy Code”, “PHP is slow because it’s interpreted” and “PHP apps all look the same”.

The Zend Developer Zone has posted an announcement about a new book from php|architect (authored by DevZone’s own Cal Evans) - Guide to Programming with the Zend Framework.
This is a project I’ve been interested in since it’s very beginning, mainly because I’m the author of this particular tome. […] The php|architect web site was a bit more helpful giving a breakdown of the contents of the book and a useful quote.
The book covers topics on the framework like the parts of MVC, web services, authorization, exceptions and even some tutorials to help you get started (including a look at the brand new Zend_Layout class).
