PHP Magazine 3.05

This week, this latest issue of the PHP Magazine International Edition has been released. This issue contains the second part of my "Go OO!" series which deals with design patterns in PHP5. If you are interested in decorators, iterators or the delegation pattern, make sure to buy a copy. Sebastian also contributed his first article and shows you how patForms can be a timesaver when creating form-based user interfaces. And last but not least, Carsten Lucke (another pat-related developer and friend) showcases his PEAR package Date_Holidays. And of course there a a lot of other interesting topics covered.

php-tools.net relaunch plans

We are currently planning a complete relaunch of the php-tools.net site, and would welcome any feedback on how we can improve it in the process. The new site will have a completely new design and backend (we are still deciding what we will use), but even though we have a good idea of what featureset the new site will need, you can still help. Tell us what you least and most liked about the current site, and what features you missed most: simply send a mail to argh [at] php-tools [dot] net with your ideas / criticism / feature requests.

Thanks in advance from the Team!

All new pat channel server

Since Greg Beaver invented the PEAR_Server class and Davey Shafik created a handy package to set up your own Channel frontend, we've been itching to make a pat Channel. Stephan installed it on pear.php-tools.net, and after my designer eyes stopped bleeding when I saw the default layout of the beast (don't get me wrong, Davey - I know it's just an example layout :-) ), I made a pat-skin and now it's ready to roll.

For the moment only a few of our packages are available through our channel, but we'll add the others eveventually.

You can read more about the PEAR_Server package on Greg's blog, and more about the Channel frontend package on Davey's blog.

New releases of patConfiguration and patTemplate

Yesterday I released patTemplate 3.1.0a1, the first alpha version of the 3.1 branch of my templating engine. This release provides dozens of new features and although it's labelled alpha, it's nearly production quality. I'm currently using it in one of my projects, that servers 400.000 visitors a day.
patConfiguration 2.0.0b2 mainly contains some bugfixes and is supposed to be the last beta version before I'm going stable. If you are using any of these, please test the new versions and report any bugs you find.
If you are using PEAR 1.4.0 you can also get them from our channel server.
