All news about PHP

After several days playing around with newt i am quite disappointed to come to a point where i have to say, that newt has not only a very limited documentation (i think there's only documentation of about 50% of the newt functionality) -- which would not be that of a problem, though. The bigger problem is, that things are very unstable. "Segmentation faults" reproducable on different operating systems and platforms -- not sure though, if the problem is newt or pecl_newt.

I always wanted to provide nice user interfaces for some of my commandline tools written in PHP, but was not able to solve one problem until recently. The big problem when writing user interfaces for commandline utilities written in PHP is: ... what library to use for actually building the user interface?

Two weeks ago, I had the great honor of giving a keynote at the Dutch PHP Conference. Because I had never been to Amsterdam or to the Dutch PHP Conference, I was really excited to have a chance to speak there. It was also an opportunity to give my favorite talk to a new audience.

As happened the past years I was at the Dutch PHP Conference this year. Something was different though, this year. I've hardly seen a conference talk this year at DPC. This was because I was part of the PHPBenelux team responsible for running the DPC Uncon, which was held for the first time parallel to the main conference. And what an awesome uncon it was!
