DevShed has posted part two in their series looking at the use of destructors in PHP5. This time they focus on their use with multiple objects inside of an application.

In this second chapter you’ll learn how to work simultaneously with multiple classes that concretely implement their respective destructors.
They revisit their previous example with a simple class that’s then extended to allow the flexibility to call the same destructor on multiple instances.

Leon Chevalier has posted about a class he’s developed (you can download it here) that can help to speed up the load times for your site.
There are 4 relatively easy ways by which you can speed up the time it takes a browser to download a page. Following on from my post on joining CSS and JavaScript files, I have written a PHP script which will automatically do all of the above.
He gives example code of the class in action and includes some screenshots of the benchmarks from the YSlow Firefox extension showing the improvements.
