Topic: PHP Templates the XSL Way

When developing a web application a common question is, “what templating engine should I use?” There are several to choose from if you’re using PHP, including PHP itself. In this presentation we’ll explore XSL and how it can be used to build a templating engine in PHP. James Logsdon presents.

Mini-Talk: TBD

TestFest 2008 Workshop

We are hosting an additional workshop in May for the PHP TestFest! This is a BYOL (bring your own laptop) workshop. WiFi, food, and drinks will be provided. Please RSVP at meetup.com, so we can get an accurate head count.

Ever wanted to get involved in the PHP development team but were unsure of where to start? Perhaps you’re not exactly a great C developer, so you weren’t even aware that your help could be valuable? Well, you don’t need to be a C developer to aid the PHP development team, nor do you need to do any fancy compiling or building. You can write phpt tests!

The month of May has been designated as TestFest 2008 for PHP user groups around the world. This month, PHP user groups will work to improve the code coverage of the test suite for the PHP language itself. Aside from having the opportunity to help in improving the language itself, PHP.net will also raffle off 10 elePHPants to submitters. Every submission (phpt test) that is considered helpful receives one entry into the raffle. Furthermore, people that show they are capable of writing tests entirely on their own may be given official PHP.net accounts with direct commit access to cvs.php.net and an @php.net email address.

TAKE NOTE: We are meeting in a different location for this workshop! Our meeting takes place at the Schematic Atlanta offices at the Millennium in Midtown building (at the corner of 10th and West Peachtree streets). Click here for directions. You will need to sign in with security in the lobby.
