Now, while I haven't tried this product myself, it does look like it has promise. The APD: Advanced PHP Debugger doesn't supoort interactive debugging like similar products, but it does write the data to "trace files." This product is written as a Zend extension right now, but may not work with some of the other extensions. But, hey, it's worth a shot if you really need something to debug your scripts. We'll keep an eye on this one and let you know if anything really coll comes of it. Thanks to DynamicWebPages.de for the link.

DevShed.com, this morning, has a new article about Array Manipulation with PHP4. For those just starting out (and maybe those of us that could use a brush up on the array functions), this is a great overview of all the fun things you can do with an array once you get one. Array's have become my "weapon of choice" when it comes to my scripts. PHP makes them so easy to work with that it's silly not to use them as much as possible.

There's lots new from Zend this morning - first off, they have a new Technical article that covers "maintaining a session state" with PHP. "Sessions" here means the time that the user spends working directly with your software (not the sessions that PHP gurus know and love). Also, they have an announcement that their newest Zend Accelerator 2.0 has been released. This is a good, solid product that can be useful in several situations, but it's not for everyone, especially for the almost $1000USD they're asking for it.
