Trevor Lowing, an attendee of the php|architect php|tek conference for this year has compiled a list of the things he learned and the people he met while at the conference, including links to various resources on each topic.

Got back today from thephp|tek Live 2006 conference sponsored by php|architect Magazine this week in Orlando and decided to compile a list of PHP tips to share. Many of the lectures are now available online.

The list is broken up into five different sections - Security, Preformance, Tools, New Technologies/Techniques, and the Speakers/Site/Blogs/Lecturers from the conference. Most of the items are just random bits from several of the talks that he attended, but still provide a great deal of information not only about the conference, but about the current state of PHP in general.

The O'Reilly Open Source Conference for this year is getting closer and closer, and a few of the members of the PHP community have been selected to present their proposed talks for this year's edition.

The list so far includes:

• David Sklar on web application dependencies
• Adam Trachtenberg giving his talk on the "Dirty secrets of PHP 5's ext/soap extension"
• Chris Shiflett (along with Geoff Young) covering PHP testing, including mentions of Apache-Test, Simple-Test, PHPUnit, and phpt
