Zipline Interactive has released the second version of their free PHP Function Finder Gadget for Windows Vista. The tool can be downloaded directly from the Zipline Interactive website at: http://www.gozipline.com/23,phpfunctionfindergadget. You can also download the latest version by going to the PHP.net website sidebar page located at: http://www.php.net/sidebars.

This new version is quite a bit smaller (physically) than its predecessors and is rectangular so it fits a bit better alongside other gadgets. They also fixed a bug that was causing a blink to happen when the search was performed.

The PHP professionals directory initiative has been enhanced to make it more efficient in its goal to bring together more PHP professionals and businesses willing to hire them.

Now there is a gadget available to provide more exposure to PHP professionals in iGoogle (Google personalized home page), Google Maps, Google Earth or in any other Web site page.

You can add the gadget to a few different places including:

• your iGoogle page from this link
• your Google "My Maps" page with this link
• to your own site with this information
• or you can just import the whole list in a kml format

The professionals directory is located here.

From the sidebars page on PHP.net:

If you use Microsoft Windows Vista you can now search the php.net function database directly from your desktop. The Microsoft Windows Vista Sidebar is a pane on the right side of your Microsoft Windows Vista Desktop where you can keep useful utilities. The php.net Function Finder will install in this bar giving you direct search access to the php.net database directly from your Desktop.

The actual download can be found over on Zipline's page and comes in the form of a .gadget file you can easily plug in.
