 PHP/MySQL ... Two great things that go great together<br />
 Combination wins Database of the Year Award at Web98
</h1>

 <span class="newsdate">[22-Jun-1998]</span>
 "The substance of the Web is more and more residing in databases, and there
 are a variety of methods used to generate Web pages. This year, we selected a
 pair of "free software" tools that work together quite nicely as a platform

<h1>PHP 3.0 Released</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[06-Jun-1998]</span>
 PHP 3.0 is finally here! After 10 months of development PHP Version 3.0
 is ready for production environments. Coupled with the release of the
 final version of Apache-1.3.0 today, the combination provides an
 unbeatable web hosting platform suitable for both small and large web
 sites.
</p>
<p>
 PHP 3.0 is the latest evolution of the PHP/FI 2.0 language and it offers
 some dramatic enhancements. It is more than twice as fast, it uses less
 memory, it has a more consistent language implementation and a much wider
 set of expressions and language features than PHP/FI 2.0. An included
 conversion program will help you migrate your PHP 2 scripts to PHP 3.

 www.marspolarlander.com</a> is powered by a combination of PHP, MySQL and Perl scripts.
 <a href="http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3071.html">There is an architecture
 description here</a>. This architecture document doesn\'t say very much about PHP other
 than the fact that PHP is used as the Web scripting language, but it has an interesting
 description of how they built a large scaleable system and it proves nicely that PHP
 is up to the task of being part of such a large-scale deployment.

<h1>PHP 3.0.11 has been released!</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[27-Jun-1999]</span>
 Hot on the heels of 3.0.10, along comes another release
 to fix a few problems on Windows and some Unix platforms. If 3.0.10
 worked for you, there\'s probably no need to upgrade. 3.0.10 featured
 bug fixes, including the last of the fsockopen() and URL fopen()
 problems, we hope. The dbm database abstraction layer had the mode
 flag for dba_open() brought into line with dbm_open(), which means
 "w" will not create a non-existent database (use "c" instead). The
 documentation has also been moved into its own repository, and the
 generated HTML documentation is included in the tar.gz instead of the
 SGML source. For a more complete list of all of the changes, see the
 ChangeLog.

<h1>PHP 4.2.2 released in response to vulnerability</h1>

<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[22-Jul-2002]</span> The PHP Group today announced
 the details of a serious <a href="release_4_2_2.php">vulnerability</a> in
 PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1. A security update, <a href="downloads.php">PHP
 4.2.2</a>, fixes the issue. Everyone running affected versions of PHP is
 encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2 release doesn\'t include
 other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless.

<h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1>

<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</span> comp.lang.php was created yesterday,
 after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted in a
 <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&amp;hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;selm=1025483879.39561&amp;40isc.org&amp;rnum=3">177-11
 vote</a> in favor of the group. The new group is already carried on most news servers,
 and should be carried on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days.
</p>

<p>
 The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php
 groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them,
 and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a
 chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer
 post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of
 comp.lang.php represents PHP\'s coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually
 all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and
 become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help
 and to help others.

<h1>Alpha 2 of PHP w/ the Zend Engine 2 Now Available</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[30-Jun-2002]</span>
 The second alpha release of PHP w/ Zend Engine 2 is <a href="http://www.php.net/downloads.php">now
 available</a>. It is based on the current PHP 4 CVS (4.3.0-dev) and includes the new 
 scripting engine which greatly improves the object model, adds exception
 handling and provides a much better infrastructure for the integration
 of external technologies like Java or .NET. For more details and
 examples you can check out the <a href="http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php">file describing
 the changes</a>.
</p>

<p>
 <strong>Note:</strong> This is an alpha version. It should not be used in production
 or even semi-production web sites. There are known bugs in it, and in
 addition, some of the features may change (based on feedback). We
 encourage you to download and play with it (and report bugs if you find any!),
 but please don\'t expect it to replace your copy of PHP 4 at this stage.

<h1>PHP Community Site Project Announced</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[18-Dec-2003]</span>
 Members of the PHP community are <a href="http://shiflett.org/archive/19">seeking
 volunteers</a> to help develop the first Web site that is created both by
 the community and for the community. The features of this project will be
 driven by the needs and desires of the community as much as possible and
 may include such things as blogs, news, FAQs, articles, links, and tutorials.
</p>
 <p>
 If you would like to contribute, please <a
 href="http://shiflett.org/contact">contact Chris Shiflett</a>, who is
 coordinating this project. There is a need for every type of contributor,
 including developers, translators, administrators, designers, writers, and
 advocates.
