The PHP Framework Interoperability Group (or PHP-FIG for short) has just released a new version of their website with a great new look and even better organization for the PSR content: http://php-fig.org. They just tweeted about it too:

What do you think of our new website? Slicker, cleaner and easier on the eyes. Give us your feedback! :)

The new version of the site provides sections not only for the details around currently accepted standards but also on current proposals, members of the organization, bylaws and frequently asked questions about the group. They also have links to some resources where you can get involved if you're interested in the group and what they're up to.

If you haven't visited the main PHP.net site in the last day or two, you may have missed it but they've officially released the new look for the site, a more modern look for both the manual and rest of the site.

The PHP web team are delighted to announce the launch of the new web theme that has been in beta for many months. Lots of hard work has gone into this release and we will be continually improving things over time now that we have migrated away from the legacy theme.

From an aesthetics point of view the general color scheme of the website has been lightened from the older dark purple. Lots of borders and links use a similar purple color to attain consistency. Fonts are smoother, and colors, contrast and highlighting have significantly improved; especially on function reference pages. Code examples should now be much more readable.

This new version updates the technologies used as well, including HTML5, Google Fonts and the Twitter Bootstrap. Go take a look at the new version and, if you spot any issues or bugs in it, be sure to report the problem on the PHP bug tracker.

One of the most popular German PHP websites, DynamicWebPages.de has gotten a makeover:

It's been a while, but it was time for a fresher layout. There was even a positive side effect - cleaner code and a performance boost for the new pages. There are also a few new small features included, including the ability to comment on each of the news items. So here's to more fun on DynamicWebPages and a great start to a brand new year!

There's tons of great content on the site, and the new layout only helps to make it all that much more accessible. Great job, Wolfgang - a definite improvement!

On his blog today, Andi Gutmans has posted some new information about some changes afoot on the Zend websites.

As many of you have seen a couple of months ago we launched a new and fresher look for the Zend Framework site.

When that went live, all the other Web site owners at Zend became jelous and wanted something just as nice. So it seems that slowly a lot of Zend's Web sites will start adopting this look&feel. The first in line was the Zend/PHP Conference Web site

All steps in the right direction - keep up the great work Zend!

In this new post on Richard Davey's blog today, there's information about the complete revamp of the PHP Magazine site (a "lime-green overhaul") and a few other features.

International PHP Magazine (you know php|arch readers.. the other one) received something of a face-lift today on its web site. Gone are the yellow and blue colours, and in comes a "whoa! where's my contrast switch?" fresh-green style. Better? Worse? Well it doesn't really make all that much difference, because the real content is the magazine itself, and this one happens to have one of my articles in it...

He mentions the book review that he did for the issue as well, covering the "Zend PHP Certification Study Guide". He gave it a favorible review, but not quite as much as it seemed after the editing process had done its work.

You can check out the issue description for more info on the articles inside this months edition...
