With all of the horrible problems that are facing those down around the Gulf coast, it's great to see even the PHP community doing their part to help - and php|architect is doing theirs.

Here's a great opportunity to get a useful new toy and help the people affected by Hurricane Katrina!

php|architect's Pocket PHP Reference is a handy guide to every function in PHP, inclusive of syntax, extension and description. It's a perfect companion for all your coding work, perfect for looking up function syntax in a pinch--and its convenient pocket size (5x8") makes it unobtrusive and easy to transport.

What's more, however, buying this book will help those affected by the recent hurricane disaster: all profits from the sale of the Pocket Guide will be donated entirely to the Canadian Red Cross' Katrina Relief Fund--we have even jumpstarted donations with a contribution of $500 Canadian!

With some of the organizations out there only contribute some of the profits from their efforts to the Hurricane Katrina funds, it's refreshing to see that all of the profits from the book are headed their way.

Bravo to the php|architect folks and Marco for setting this up! Keep your eyes on the button in the sidebar for the current totals...
