To start the week off like it should, Zend has their latest PHP Weekly Summary for this past week.

Most of the issues that they talk about here are smaller ones, but there still are a few that stick out - like the new COM and .NET extensions for PHP5 that have been developed. They're still in their initial stages, but it should be appearing in the Win32 builds shortly. Another new item that was presented last week is a "statistics extension" that has been created to allow for easy stats creation and monitoring.

The other smaller items mentioned include the port of pspell to the Win32 builds, a correction of an indexing bug for using strings as indexes, and the suggestion of a new function - variable_exists().
