The PHP Town Hall podcast has returned with a new episode that gives you the low down on PSR-15, a proposal being discussed by the PHP-FIG group to provide structure around middleware implementation.

An all star cast this episode, as Ben and Phil are joined by regular guest Anthony Ferrara - thinker of good ideas and long-time part-time side-line contributor to the PHP-FIG, Woody Gilk - one-speed rider & BDFL of Kohana, and Beau Simensen - author of a bunch of stuff including StackPHP.

Here we’re talking about some awesome stuff the PHP-FIG is working on: PSR-15 (HTTP Middleware). [...] We discuss all this, and the reason PSR-7 (HTTP Message) is not enough for the ecosystem to benefit from shareable middleware.

You can catch this latest episode in a few different ways including the use of the in-page audio or video player, by downloading the mp3 directly or you can view the recording of the live Google Hangout over on YouTube.
