We had a nice rolling conversation this month. Some of the topics that were discussed (in no particular order) were:

Joomla in Search Friendly URLs
For more on Joomla
Zend Framework API Docs - Looking for the Options for each Zend Form Decorator, Just choose the Zend_Form package, and view the Decorators.
Kohana 3 "Pre" release
Unoffical Kohana wiki
Serendipity

As our discussions seemed to revolve around frameworks, you may find some of these recent framework reviews helpful if you are choosing which one you want to try next:

Tutorials and News

This morning, I posted my walk-through for getting Apache, MySQL and PHP working properly on OpenBSD 4.6, which was released last week. The PHP package for OpenBSD already contains the Suhosin Hardened-PHP patches, and Apache is already patched and configured for use in a restricted chroot environment. Arguably, this is the most secure AMP server you'll ever build.

To that end, installation is pretty straight-forward, but there are a few tricks you need to know in order to make your favorite AMP web applications (joomla, wordpress and others) work in this secure environment. I've outlined the entire installation procedure starting from a pristine installation of OpenBSD.

Announcements

Unfortunately, due to family obligations, neither Dan nor I will be able to make it to the October meeting. KC PHP User Group has become a fairly autonomous group, so this doesn't mean the meeting is canceled. It just means the tables won't be arranged in the front north corner ahead of time. Please, feel free to show up and share your projects with one another and get input from the group, though! I'll see you in November!

PHP 5.3 was released 6/30/09. It brings some big changes to PHP -- among them: namespaces, closures, a few shortcuts, nowdoc, and changes to heredoc and PHP.ini.

Be sure to read the Migration Guide before upgrading to the latest and greatest.
