Sandro Groganz Leave a comment

From php.net: “The members of the Hungarian PHP community announce the first Hungarian PHP Conference which will take place in Budapest, on Saturday March 29th, sponsored by several international and local companies. The conference offers an entirely free one-day activity with several presentations addressing basic and advanced topics, as well, exclusively in Hungarian. Moreover, a five kilobyte-limited PHP contest has been started to discover the most talented PHP programmers in our country. The program includes the first session of the so-called PHP Division which will be established with the set purpose of representing the community itself and promoting their interests in any national business and official phorums.”

Sandro is happy that PHP has growing momentum in Hungary – he spent a year in Hungary during his University studies. Congratulations and thanks to Goba for making the conference happen!

SRM Modifications

The Script Running Machine (SRM) will be optimized. Maintainer Derick Rethans sent the following TODO list to the SRM mailinglist:

– Make connection handling Multi-threaded
– Port the extension to ZE2
– Implement timers

SRM is a PHP extension that does all sort of persistent storage for PHP. This storage can be simple variables for applications, but also objects, and even running objects called Bananas (similar to Java Beans). For more information see the website dedicated to SRM.

Universal PHP Authentication Replication System

Sandro Groganz Leave a comment

“The rationale for Universal is web applications such as Phorum, phpBB, WebCalendar, PostNuke, Xaraya, Drupal are unable cooperate because there is no data sharing. Universal is an attempt at bridging these islands of data by providing means for PHP applications written by different people to work better together. As a PHP developer, you can help make PHP web applications interoperate by implementing a shared sign-on mechanism based on the specs described here.”
