As we all know, the PHP community has grown without much commercial support from companies investing large sums of money to market it. Word of mouth has always been the most powerful means of spreading news about PHP capabilities.
Unfortunately, however, PHP is not so well known and supported everywhere in the world. In regions where PHP is more popular, user groups exist which promote regular meetings and other initiatives to provide opportunities for users to build their knowledge and obtain local PHP support.
The PHP Classes site announces today a new initiative named PHP Programming Innovation Award. Despite the coincidence, this is not an April fouls joke.
Security issues have always been a major concern for those that are responsible for Web sites. Every day, security experts discover new vulnerabilities in computer programs that many of us use in our Web sites.
That would not be a problem if such experts would not use the knowledge about those vulnerabilities to compromise our systems and cause any harm.
