Chris Shiflett has posted his own recap of the (just passed) php|works conference up in Toronto over on his blog.

I've been traveling non-stop since php|works, so I haven't had a chance to reflect on the conference, what I learned, who I met, and things like that. (Zak has been doing a good job of this lately, and I'd like to follow his lead.) I've probably forgotten more than I remember, but this is my recap.

Included in the things he mentions are:

• The people he was able to meet (like Joshua Eichorn and Sebastian Bergmann)
• The talks he gave ("Truth about XSS" and "Agile PHP Testing")
• His interview with Cal Evans of the Zend Developer Zone
• The PHP 5 Certification
• and Wez Furlong's "Not PDO" talk
