There's a whole lotta things from Zend this morning, so strap in and enjoy:
First off, there's a new tutorial that teaches you the basics on how to parse an XML document with PHP. They give you a brief intro to what a normal XML document looks like and details on all of the basica functions that you'll need to parse it. Of course, they give you all the code you'll need, so you can cut and paste to your heart's desire. Their script just pulls out the $data chunk of the XML information and assigns it to an array.

Also from Zend this morning, there's a new Code Gallery Spotlight talking about PHP CLI (command-line interface, for those out of the loop). Tons of people use PHP for what it was intentded for - a web scripting language that makes great, fast, dynamic pages. But, there's getting to be more and more that use it for their command-line needs. This tutorial gives you a good intro to using PHP on your very own CLI (note: this one is really pretty short, and is just meant as a starting point). The neat thing that they mention is getting info back from the comand line (stdin).

Also, a brief note from Websapp.com today - in a press release from Zend the other day, PHP Overtakes Microsoft’s ASP as Web’s #1 Server-side Scripting Language. According to their (Netcraft) latest results, PHP is now running on over 24% of the sites on the internet.

And, lastly, Zend now has their very own Jobs Board for the PHP community to use. There's two sides of the coin - the employees looking for jobs, and the employers looking for new hires. This could be a really nice thing, if it catches on. The PHP Community needs a (reliable) site that they can go to to look for just PHP-specific jobs in their area (or on the other side of the world, their choice).
