PHPEverywhere has a neat little thing posted this morning that talks about real testing vs. open source. He says that "the presumption that hundreds of thousands of eyeballs are a good substitute for a large and expensive testing team" is not a good practice to follow. I'd have to agree on that one. After reciently going through a project where there just wasn't enough testing done, I feel my opinion is valid too. The reason he talks about this is that PHP 4.1.1 is still not thread safe on Windows.

On the heals of the tutorial yesterday, we have a new posting from Zend that provides us with the next step up in the photogallery idea. This is the third part in this series, with the other two being quite a while back. In this part, he introduces the checkup() function which is what checks to see if thumbnails that have been created are needed anymore.

Not that it's really PHP-related, but evolt.org has a new article that talks about NewStar being the one that the U.S. Gov't picked to manage the .us domains. It looks like that, instead of just being assigned the domain (as a free/non-profit group), you now can actually get anything.us fro $12 to $35 per year. Just what we need...another TLD....
