Issue # 193 and Issue # 194 of the Zend weekly news is out. Written by Steph Fox, with a sweet short version tucked at the end of each news snippet, these issues of Zend's weekly newsletter are a must-read. Read Issue #193, #194.

Issue #193 includes coverage of several fixes (file_get_contents, hash table copy, HTTP_AUTH, etc.) as well as lots of new information such as the release of PHP 5.0.0 and PHP 4.3.8, load-over dependencies, and the change of TRUE/FALSE/NULL into keywords.

In Issue #194, several other fixes (empty_string, html_entity_decode, and Abstract reflection) are talked about. Other new items included: the birth of Diana Coggeshall, the creation of two new string functions, and the release of full GIF support built into GD 2.0.28.

Thanks to PHP Magazine for the pointers to these...
