Evolt.org has a new article this morning about How to create a hierarchical navigation menu for your website to help organize it and make it easier for the users to understand where information is. The sample that they give is in PHP, but how they do it makes it pretty much adapt itself to any language that embeds in HTML. There's some lines to add to the Apache config and some code that you can cut and paste into your pages. All this helps your site stay a little more organized and a bit more friendly to those search engine robots out there.

One of the more popular templating engines out there, Smarty, has just released the second version of their code. This release is a huge milestone for Smarty.

Accoring to DynamicWebPages, there is a meeting of several of the more influential people in the PHP world March 8th-10th to talk about the future of PHP, and will primarily be concerned with modification/improvements of the PHP manual, which has already been called one of the best manuals to an open source programming language of any out there. I'd have to agree with that last one...PHP does have a very nicely done manual.
