PHP Barcelona and fall schedule

Next weekend I'll be presenting at PHP Barcelona on SQLite3. It's a one day conference and there are plenty of other great sessions during the day from Derick, Helgi and Zoë. Tickets are on sale now for a very reasonable price of €20.

Later in October I'll be presenting at IPC and php|works. Tickets for those conferences are on sale now.

As always the slides will be published afterwords for those that couldn't attend.

PHP 5.3.0 Alpha 2 Released

PHP 5.3.0 alpha 2 was released yesterday. This is mainly bug fixes to the previous alpha 1 and some more Windows improvements.

This is a non stable release, so don't use it in your production environment but please do test in your development environment and reporting any bugs you find or anything that no longer works.

You can find the source releases here and the Windows releases at the new windows site, for this release there are now VC9 and 64-bit builds available along with the classic VC6 builds.

I'll also be giving a talk tomorrow at PHP London about some of the changes and new features in PHP 5.3, more details are available at the PHP London Wiki.
