PHP Magazine has published their latest issue of the PHPBarnstormer - #25.

Aaron talks this week about topics including: the suggestion of a spawn() function, a fix made to allow __call() to work correctly and be executable, PECL/PEAR releases like pdflib-2.0.3 (stable), xdebug-2.0.0beta2 (beta) and Var_Dump-1.0.1 (stable).

Also this week there are two features. First, one we all know and love - the Package in Focus - covers the DB_NestedSet PEAR package. A new addition to this week's edition is a Feature section covering "PHP Tests". It covers the standard and optional sections as defined in the "php test" files (TEST, SKIPIF, ARGS, FILE, and EXPECT/EXPECTF/EXPECTREGEX).
