PHP 5.2.15 released, patch updated

PHP 5.2.15 was released today, and I've made a copy of the previous patch. It still applies without any issues (a "make test" looks good) - this is supposed to be the latest…

I was wrong.

How would I change PHP?

Anyone who knows me knows I am a PHP fanboy. I use PHP for everything - web applications, web scraping, batch scripting, if there is an itch that software can fix, I try to…

When you enter the realm of "friendly URLs" "slugs" "nice names" or whatever else you call them, it can make everything a lot better looking. However, if done incorrectly, you can…
