These sessions were recorded live at last year's Zend/PHP Conference. This episode is from Sara Golemon's talk on writing extensions for PHP.

The ZendCon Sessions are live recordings of sessions that have been given at previous Zend Conferences. Combined with the slides, they can be the next best thing to having attended the conference itself. [...] This episode of The ZendCon Sessions was recorded live at ZendCon 2008 in Santa Clara, CA...and is Sara Goleman giving her talk: "PHP Extension Writing".

You can get this new episode one of three ways - the in-page player, via the mp3 or by subscribing to the podcast feed.

He talks with two developers about its impact.

GOTO in PHP? Is that possible? It turns out that it is. GOTO is poised to make its official debug in the upcoming 5.3 release of PHP-and the comments are flowing around the Net. We caught up with Sara Golemon, who introduced the construct in PHP, and with Timothy Boronczyk, who made one of the rare level-headed comments about its use, to shed some light on how GOTO will affect the world of PHP.

They look at why GOTO was even on the table for inclusion, how it got started in the PHP code (the target was PHP6) why there's so much controversy over it and how, despite what the naysayers say, it will not be the demise of the language and cause some kind of downward spiral in PHP development.

Sara is one of the core contributors to PHP and when she's not coding for PHP, speaking at conferences or writing books she fills her time working at Yahoo. I had the privledge of sitting down with Sara at php|works earlier this year in Atlanta GA and talk with her about her background, why she likes PHP and anything else that came to mind.
