Hi all,
I'd like to let everyone know about our PHP Meetup organization efforts.
On the 1st Tuesday of every month, at 6:30pm, we'll be getting together at
Pound and Pence for an informal gathering of PHP, web, and open source
folks.
Details are at http://php.meetup.com/430/

I don't think there's any graceful way, but there's certainly a way known as
cron that is meant for just that very thing.

Is being Zend certified (alone) a big help?

I would have nothing against an independently created and sanctioned PHP
cert devised/approved by the author/core developers, but it seems that
would be a big waste of how far Zend has already taken things and it

I voice my vote in favor, as well, and offer my - and my company's - full

Hello Peter/et all,
I agree with a lot of this. I've been thinking about the same thing
since the "OT Webmaster Test" thread started.
Some kind of move like this would surely help increase the quality of
software and allow those
new to a project to become productive more quickly.

It seems we (I mean PHP programmers) have all the tools and instruments

I would go for Zend Frame work, in our company we used (Code Igniter,
Symfony, and Zend Frame). Zend is the best and very powerful.
