As both Andrei Zmievski and Clay Loveless mention in new blog posts from each, things in the PHP framework scene are getting a bit out of hand.

Andrei's comments:

I know you might be lusting after Rails for some reason and want to have the fame, the glory, and the dancing girls of DHH, but are we not going to be satisifed until Sourceforge is filled with the object-oriented diarrheal remains of our overblown egos and delusions of grandeur?

And Clay's thoughts:

Build a cool app. Forget about your own personal stamp on the framework world; you missed the boat on that one. But, if you want to make a mark, the world is wide open for new and cool applications. Pick an existing framework, start building your app, and contribute fixes back to that framework's community as you find shortcomings in your needs for your app.

They're both in agreement, and on more that one point. They recommend the best course of action for anyone out there with "the itch" to really work with a framework - fine one of the already established ones and dive right in. It might not be your own code, but you can contribute your own functionality and thoughts into the project and establish your own little niche.

From Ana Aman's Blogspot blog today, there's a quick post with a helpful hint for anyone working with PHPMyAdmin experiencing freeze-ups.

If you are using phpmyadmin on a database with more 1500 or more tables, you may experience problems. The page will not load at all so you will not be able to operate propery with phpmyadmin.

Of course you can still run commands from a terminal or console but it is not as confortable as using phpmyadmin.

The solution? Following a bit of digging, Ana discovered that upping the memory limit for the server PHPMyAdmin installed on makes a world of difference.

According to this new post on Ilia Alshanetsky's blog today, the FUDForum developers have released the latest Release Candidate for their software - version 2.7.4RC1.

A little over 2 months have passed since the last stable release, and so we are once again on the release road starting with 2.7.4RC1. This release combines both bug fixes as well as a fair number new features, so there is something for everyone. Given the long delay since the last release by FUDforum standards, the list of changes is quite impressive.

Some of the improvements/bugfixes include:

• Added subscribed forum filter to message navigator
• Updated Chinese translation to use UTF-8
• Added better doctype to header to facilitate faster forum page rendering
• Implement RSS/XML feed caching mechanism
• Fixed postgreSQL query error on search indexing
• Fixed creation of a missing default theme in the upgrade script
• and much, much more...

You can grab this latest release candidate from their download section and get testing...
