Based on some feedback that I got from readers a little while back (and some of my own thoughts before that), I've decided to split off the job postings to take them out of the main feed. Several people felt that they distract from the main portion of the site - the news.

They haven't gone to far, though - as you'll notice, there's now a "Jobs Feed" on the sidebar that you can subscribe to and get the latest jobs posted with us. This number is growing more and more every day, so it's a great place to keep up with. We've also moved them over to their own subdomain, jobs.phpdeveloper.org to keep things nice and tidy.

From here on out, if you want to find out about the latest job openings, you'll need to subscribe to the new jobs feed or check out the new subdomain, jobs.phpdeveloper.org to keep up with the latest postings. We'll still post the weekly summaries here in the main feed each Saturday for those that just want the overview.

John Rockefeller has a tip he'd like to share with all of the other PHP developers out there - a little method he's come up with to host multiple domains off of the same code.

This is really handy for those of us who have the same code handling multiple sites or multiple sub-domains. A case in point: When I coded NetBoardz (my free forum hosting service now defunct), I had one codebase handling all 250 forums. How? Simple. When the code runs, it determines which site the user is loading and does different things (like using different databases) dynamically.

He shows the two key points to dividing things up - grabbing the domain and subdomain they were trying to access. This can be fed into a script that can switch things like layout or even functionality based on which site they've chosen.
