In a quick announcement from the fine folks over at PHP Magazine - their March Edition is currently availible for download.

In this month's issue, there are some pretty interesting topics covered. The lead piece is from John Lim (PHPEverywhere) about "Benchmarking PHP with no BS", a look at "using the PHP Benchmarking Suite (PHP BS) to understand the performance characteristics of PHP".

Other articles in this month's issue include:

• The "Programming PHP" Column from Sterling Hughes on SMSing with PHP
• The second part of "The Art of Error Handling and Recovery" from Peter James
• and, in a shameless plug, my piece comparing two of the PHP IDEs - "PHPEdit vs. PHPed"
