The latitude and longitude would only give relative perspective view. For
accurate measurement, doesn't it requires time of year also since it depends
on rotations of earth around the sun and how far/close the earth to sun,
which will affect the moon's rotation too? Just remembering my high school
AP Physics on gravitational forces.

Hi All,
I am PHP 4& PHP 5 developer for last 6 yrs. Last year also got Zend

But now I am little bored with developing website. What other things I can
do with PHP ?
Even I believe my knowledge, interest,& market value with PHP 5 is
getting
saturated.
Do you guys suggest me what other thing I can learn or work which help me
to
keep my lust for PHP alive
and also boost my career.
I suggest you concentrate less on the language and more on:
- interesting / challenging projects
- using PHP with other new interesting technologies
- applying design / programming paradigms from other languages in PHP
- contributing to PHP internals
Status.net, GNU Social, DISO Project, lorea.cc and elgg all occupy a rather
interesting project space with small but inspiring communities of people who
like to push technical boundaries and merge technologies, particularly
within the social space.
http://www.ushahidi.com/platform is a thriving project which combines
technical excellence and forward thinking with real world large scale
community needs, being critical in several major world events, even if you
don't get involved, their code bases for ushahidi + related on
http://github.com/ushahidi is brilliant, likewise the swiftriver project
http://swift.ushahidi.com/ doesn't look much on the face of it but is really
good - just check out the SwiftRiver Research at the right.
There are many interesting protocol based communities who often implement in
PHP, and these can be rather interesting / challenging and active spaces -
ActivityStreams, Salmon-Protocol, OneSocialWeb to name just a few.
On the technology side of things, you may want to consider going down the
NoSQL route for a while, http://nosql-database.org/ gives a good summary of
database - I'd recommend CouchDB, MongoDB and Redis for a nice well
supported start that will introduce you to new design paradigms and bring
many performance increases to your applications.
Alternatively you may find it refreshing to try some other languages,
perhaps a functional language like Scala, OCaml or Haskell, or maybe in to a
very active language such as ECMAScript (server side js) via something like
http://node.js/ you may just find that you don't want to use PHP any more,
or you may find that you want to apply the paradigms and lessons learned to
PHP using the new features in 5.3
Hope that helps a little, I'll stop here because I could list projects till
the end of time!
Many Regards
Nathan

Thanks for the response - I found the answer to Q1 - the problem of
formatting newlines - I was running the code outputting to browser - and
got lazy on some - just pasting the PHP manual examples code directly,
without bracketing with HTML tags such as <pre> ... etc. Of course that
won't produce the formatting I was expecting and as shown in the manual.
What confused me? - some example code includes the <pre> HTML tags and
produce formatted output! So, I feel really stupid about that one.
Perhaps there is a PHP manual update project in here somewhere to
normalize the examples code so they can be run to get the output as printed.
-----------
Q2 re the undefined function - fnmatch() - still needs an explanation. I
need to get PHP's fnmatch() function, Xdebug, and iMagick's readImage()
function working in the same setup.
Using Xammplite_Win_32_1.7.1, PHP ver 5.2.9 reports fnmatch() is not a
defined function and I haven't been able to get Xdebug functioning on
this setup. readImage() works just fine.
Using Xammp_Win_32_1.7.3, PHP ver 5.3.1 fnmatch() is defined and Xdebug
works 'out of the box' but Apache crashes when iMagick readImage() is
called. I think I should communicate this to the extension author. Will
post here if I get a result.
Thanks again, Peter.

Question 1 : how to get the newline functioning ....? even print_r() output
is not 'newlined' as it should be. Also note the \n is missing between the "

Are you outputting to browser or to command line? Browsers have a
habit of ignoring whitespaces, reducing them to one whitespace
character regardless of their type or how many.
