February 2009 Meeting

When: Thursday, February 5, 2009—7pm-9pm
Where: Consulate General of Canada

Presentation: PHP & Apache: Why httpd.conf Is Your New BFF!

Apache’s configuration files can be used to configure how Apache operates, but they can also be used to configure PHP and how Apache httpd interacts with PHP. In this talk, Jeff Jones explains the different ways Apache can be configured, explains many of the useful config options available for Apache modules, including our own mod_php, and showcases example of how they can be used with, and instead of, your PHP code.

January 2009 Meeting

When: Thursday, January 8, 2009—7pm-9pm
Where: Consulate General of Canada

Presentation: Around the PHP Community

For new and veteran PHP programmers alike, it’s often difficult to find the right place to ask questions and find the best answers and solutions to programming challenges. This month, Ben Ramsey takes us on a journey through the PHP Community to discover the websites the experts use to get PHP news and information and the places they go to ask for help (because even experts need help). He’ll wrap up the talk with a brief who’s who in the PHP Community, introducing you to some of the core developers and familiar faces around the community.
