All aspiring PHP authors out there, listen up - the Zend Developer Zone has posted this new article today with a real deal for anyone looking to not only get published but also be entered for a chance to win a free ticket into the Zend/PHP Conference & Expo in the fall.

Here's how this works: Scrape around in the closets of you mind and find that PHP tutorial you always wanted to write. The subject is wide open as long as it is PHP. Once you have your idea in your head, transfer it to an email and send it to me. No need to send over the entire article, just an outline. We'll look it over carefully and if it looks like something other DevZoners would like, we'll start you on your way down the road to fame.

Articles selected will recieve a DevZone t-shirt from Zend and be entered into the drawing for the free ride to the conference. There will also be one grand prize winner (as drawn September 4th) that will recieve:

• Air-fair from anywhere in the continental United States to the beautiful San Jose, CA.
• Hotel accommodations in The Doubletree Hotel; the conference hotel.
• Registration for the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo.

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to register and get started on those articles today!
