Hi all,

Nice to see PHP taking hold in such a context so I thought to pass it on.

Hands On: Using PHP and PEAR for Web Services
---------------------------------------------------
The promise of distributed, platform-independent applications can make Web
services appealing to many tech execs. But, it can also be more work than
many devs bargain for. A PHP Open Source project called PEAR looks to provide
devs a huge helping hand, by providing many key SOAP classes. See how sweet
a PEAR can be.

Open Source vs. Shared Source - Hunt for Value
---------------------------------------------------
You may have missed last weekend's Mosley-De La Hoya fight, but there's
another battle worth watching that may prove more lucrative to your career.
Vendors are beginning to take a few pages from the Open Source playbook,
offering devs more access to code and community for paid software. OET takes
a look at the back-and-forth over the question of how much value "Shared Source"
truly offers, and it's not on pay-per-view.

Zend Studio 3.0 Supports Mission-Critical PHP Apps
---------------------------------------------------
Engineers at Zend, keying off an uptick in corporate interest in PHP for
mission-critical web-based apps, have released Zend Studio 3.0, an upgrade to
their PHP IDE. See how interest from CBS, Lufthansa and others led Zend to add
dynamic code support, online debugging and performance tuning in the latest IDE.

#develop Offers Sharp, Open Source IDE for .NET
---------------------------------------------------
Developers looking for an Open Source way to access .NET have an Open Source
IDE that sports add-in menus, compiler backend tools and more. The #develop team
has released #develop 1.0, with richer backend support for .NET 1.1, and easier
front-end nav tools. OET spoke with project founder Christoph Wille, to get a
look at the latest. You can get a free download, too.

SPML Dev Toolkit Open for Free Download
---------------------------------------------------
Devs can download a free, Open Source toolkit for Service Provisioning Markup
Language (SPML) just as OASIS nears full adoption of an SPML 1.0 standard. SPML
uses XML to help ensure cross-platform interoperability for access-control and
identity technologies. Take a test drive of the latest tools for helping devs
build secure end-to-end web services.

Hands On: Inside the Tricky PHP-to-XML Project
---------------------------------------------------
PHP-to-XML projects can be either relatively straightforward or complex. And now,
as PHP becomes a familiar scripting environment for programmers working with and
supporting XML, questions about the interoperability of both languages abound.
This week, OET looks at the growing list of questions surrounding PHP-with-XML
projects, and, more importantly, offers developers some answers.
