PHPDeveloper: PHP News, Views and Community

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the PHP Classes site finally launched the premium services for PHP developers that use the site. [...] The premium subscriptions are the alternative that I found to make this site provide a pleasant user experience and hopefully provide useful features that can help making the life of PHP developers better.

He goes into detail on what all is involved in the premium subscriptions including:

No advertising
Own site search
Recorded searches
Notable packages
PHP Specialist forums

There's also several other services that are listed as "coming soon" to further enhance the site - customizable site design templates, new class wish lists, personalized bookmarks, etc. The cost for all of the premium services comes to $5 USD/month (with $15 USD due at a time because of restrictions on the payment gateway).

Another pair of interesting notes about the future of the site are mentions of revenue sharing for best contributors and the opportunity for free subscriptions.

You can get complete information about these premium services from its page on the PHPClasses.org website.

SuSE - New PHP Packages Fix XSS and Information Leak

by Chris Cornutt May 09, 2006 @ 06:30:34

The SuSE linux group has released new packages, according to this post on the PHP Magazine site, to deal with the XSS and information leak issues found recently in PHP4 and PHP5.

A new update fixes security issues in the scripting languages PHP4 and PHP5 including a vulnerability in copy() and tempnam() functions that could bypass open_basedir restrictions, a cross-site-scripting (XSS) bug in phpinfo(), a vulnerability in mb_send_mail() that lacked safe_mode checks, and a bug in html_entity_decode() that could expose memory content. Fixed packages are available from ftp.suse.com.

It is strongly suggested that you upgrade your installation to prevent any issues/problems from arrising.

From the KillerSoft blog today, there's Pearified.com.

I rolled out several new Pearified.com packages last night and this morning. A brief summary of these updates:

Frontend packages switched to Role_Web usage
Prototype, script.aculo.us and Behaviour packages updated.
New Editors category added.
Icons, Icons, Icons.
Tooltip! (from Davey Shafik)

It's wonderful to see this resource thriving and becoming a real asset to not only the PEAR community but to the PHP community as a whole...
