I finally done upgrade of eZ publish for php.pl and works perfect. Now we are running on eZ publish 3.7, stability tests are passed.

eZ publish 3.7.1 is the latest update of the eZ publish content management system. This update is a normal service release of the 3.7 branch.

I recently received a package from Amazon and really wondered, because my last buy is a longer time ago and I did not miss anything from it... So wonder, I received the Star Trek Next Generation - Movie collection, including all 3 Star Trek movies that play in TNG.

Thanks a lot to Vidyut Luther (the initial creator of the phpdoc VIM plugin, which now became PHP Documentor for VIM) for this amazing gift!! :)

After several months of development my website is finally on-line ;) Yeah and it is powered by eZ publish, why? You will find answer here.

Yesterday I arrived here in San Francisco, together with Gregor Streng from Mayflower, for the Zend/PHP conference and expo. The flight was a bit hard (12 hrs sitting is not what you really want to do) and the jetlag caught me yesterday afternoon during dinner, but overall I'm really happy to be here. :) I already saw parts of Frisco when driving to dinner and the Californian environment ist really nice (although the weather is quiet cloudy). As usual there are lots of wellknown people here and I expect to have lots of fun with all those collegues and friends form the community. Since I missed to by an AC adapter (I was sure to be able to rent one here) I'm currently out of power most time, but I hope to fix that soon, so that I can upload some photos and write some more on the conference.

For those of you who can not attend the Conference here in the US (all you European and mainly German geeks), I can only recommend joining the International PHP Conference in Frankfurt this November (6th to 9th). It's one of the oldest and most established community events and you get the chance to meet all those PHP gurus, who push PHP forward every day, in person. Beside that, you can join my phantastic workshop on how to distribute your applications through the new PEAR Installer version 1.4 and your own PEAR channel server.

So long, have a good time!

I recently uploaded a new version of PDV (phpDocumentor for VIM), which allows you to comfortable generate documentation for your PHP classses, functions, methods and attributes. The new version fixes some issues with the usage of tabs in your code (since I only use spaces, I did not notice these), as well as some smaller bugs. Enjoy! :)

Derick has posted a small blurb about his article on Xdebug in the php|architect magazine.

I have to admit, that I only used echo and var_dump for debugging purposes before, until Derick convinced me in Norway to install Xdebug. Just by installing and activating it you get really nice backtraces for every error occuring in your scripts, which is a huge enhancement in itself.

php|architect kindly allowed Derick to publish his article (15 pages!) as a PDF on the net. It's a really good resource to get started with Xdebug. I can only recommend to read it and try the debugger! Really cool! :)
