In a note from php|architect:

I am writing to let you know that a new issue of php|a is out. [...] This month, we feature a number of great articles, starting from Eric David Wiener's excellent step-by-step guide to making your PHP-powered website more accessible--not only to people with disabilities, but also to the Internet at large. Ilia Alshanetsky shows us how to perform almost all the operations that were once the exclusive realm of the complex (and often unavailable on shared hosts) cURL extension... without the cURL extension! Simone Grassi introduces the Lybra Framework, a complete development system that makes it possible to create "event-driven" websites that are capable of automatically responding to specific conditions without the need for complex coding.

Also this month, George Schlossnagle ends his three-part regular expression series with an excellent in-depth examination of three very advanced topics: complex evaluated substitutions, offset capturing and recursive regexes. Wez Furlong delves into the murky underworld of creating and sending complex e-mails, taking you through the maze of RFCs, standards and non-compliant e-mail systems, showing you the important things to know along the way. Finally, Marco Tabini completes his two-part series on interpreting and altering PDF files. In Part II, we will code a complete PHP library capable of opening and altering PDF files using techniques similar to the ones we use for stamping every copy of php|a.

So, if you're a subscriber, go login and download your copy, otherwise, check out this month's sample article and get to know one of the finest PHP publications out there...
