As Laura Thomson points out, OmniTI, employer of several active participants in the PHP community, has launched their labs.omniti.com website:

OmniTI Labs is our repository for some of the projects we generate while working on stuff for clients, for our products, or just on things that we think are cool. The website is a way for us to give this code back to the community.

Right now, the repository includes three projects:

• Alexandria - a PHP library of related bits and pieces they use in their projects
• Spreadlogd - a simple tool to log messages received via the Spread Group Communication system (in conjunction with mod_log_spread)
• ZetaBck - a "thin-agent based ZFS backup tool"

According to this new press release, PerlCoders and PHP Labs have joined forces and become one and, to share the love with others, they're offering discounts on their offerings.

Over the last week, PerlCoders and PHP Labs have merged to offer even more professional scripts to their clients. To celebrate this merger, they are now offering a one-time special promotion for webmasters, which can save them over $300. As a small incentive for new members, PHP Labs is also offering free installation for the first script of your choice.

The press release goes on to talk about what each is bringing to the table and what they're offering from now on. The $300 promotion goes towards a membership for the site, giving you access to all 44 scripts without paying extra. Examples of the scripts include GalleryMaker, ProxyCheck, FileMailer, and CashMail. You can get more information from the promotion's page on their website.
