Posted on: 2005-06-08

Hello,

As you may be aware, today, June 8, is the 10th anniversary of PHP. I will not repeat what many have already said about the meaning of PHP for all of us that work, live and breathe PHP almost on a daily basis.

I will just drop you a pointer to this site that aggregates feeds to many blogs of PHP developers, in case you do not know it already. If you have a PHP related blog that is not listed here, feel free to submit to this site:

Do you have your own blog or do you post in other blogs about the classes you or somebody else has submitted to the PHP Classes site?

Posted on: 2005-03-26

Hello,

After being hosted in shared servers for almost 6 years, the PHP Classes site is finally going to be migrated to a new dedicated server.

37. Dependency packages and top reused classes

Posted on: 2004-07-11

Hello,

As you may have noticed, the PHP Classes site has a new feature that lets you specify which other packages also submitted to the PHP Classes may be needed to run your classes.

This is meant to let the users that are trying your classes know which dependencies the classes have so they know that which other classes they may need to download to use yours without difficulties.
