Well, I hope all of you US Citizens out there are enjoying the time off today (you did get time off, didn't you?) to reflect on the heroes past that have defended the US to make it what it is today. To some it's just another excuse to go to the lake or hang out and do nothing all day - but please remember what this holiday is all about. Don't forget those that gave their lives for our country.

So - with that said - on with the news!
Over on PHPComplete.com (previously the NewbieNetwork) there is a post about possible online PHP classes for the future. This idea has been tossed around for a bit now, and we (the PHPDN members) are wondering if it's something worth pursuing. So, either leave comments on this one here or over on PHPComplete.com.

From Evolt.org this morning, there's a new article about making your PHP code portable. There's a lot of PHP code available for free on the net but also not all of it can run on your system as it is. This article shows you how to distribute a setup required by your program to run. This article is less about how to write your code so that it's easier to understand, and more about how to include something, either an .htaccess file or some ini_sets in your code to set the correct values needed for your scripts to work 100% of the time everywhere (well, okay - ideally). Two cool functions that he shows in his examples that are pretty cool: display_php_conf() and display_htaccess_conf().
