As I mentioned yesterday, one of the things about Zend Studio 5 that's been really irritating is the unnecessary use of, and escaping of, double quotes in Subversion commit messages triggered by Zend Studio 5.

The following little script fixes that behavior by dropping the opening and closing double quotes, and stripping slahses within the commit message, as they simply don't need to be there. The script is written with the Mac OS X environment in mind, so tweak as you need to if you're also experiencing this problem.

Using the script is as easy as copying it to the right place, making it executable, then pointing Studio's SVN "Path To" at the file. That's it!

Last time we set up our form, took the data from that form and emailed it to an email address of our choosing. This time we're going to take the same form data, put it in a database, read the total values and display them on a page.

They start out by giving all of the SQL that you'll need to make the corresponding database for the survey, and move quickly into dumping data into the table and displaying the results from the user's entries...

On my way home from the Frankfurt conference right now, according to the in-plane TV we are somewhere just south of Greenland at the moment.

I would like to thank the folks are Software & Support for inviting me to their conference, it is quite enjoyable, not to mention quite big, much larger then an average PHP con. I've yet again had the privilege to meet with many people with whom I've only conversed online and met good friends whom I have not seen since previous conferences.

And, of course, here's the links to his talks:

• PHP Security Talk: PDF PPT
• PHP 5 OOP: PDF PPT
• PHP & Performance: PDF PPT

While I'm here, I'll be giving my PDO talk and sitting in on a Q&A panel with the other PHP big wigs that are also here (Rasmus, Zeev, Andrei and Zak). After the conference itself, we'll be holding a meeting to hammer out some of the finer details for PHP 6.

This conference is so close to the International PHP Conference that attendees would either need to skip out on the last day there or miss the first day of the Forum PHP conference....

On Monday I arrived back in Germany from the Zend/PHP Conference & Expo. Other people already posted detailed round ups ^{1 2 3} on this great event, so from my side only few words on the actual event: It was damn cool! :) The conference itself was a very well working mixture of business and geek talks, the sessions were chosen really good. As usual I met a whole lot of old friends (like Markus Börger, John Coggeshall, Christian Wenz and even Sterling Hughes) and made another lot of new ones. The location was really nice and the events they organized were real fun. So, all in all: My appreciation to Zend for this great event!

Update Oct. 30: I recently added 2 movies Gregor made during our heli trip to my gallery. Really cool! :)

But now, let's come to the more unofficial part: On Friday, after the last keynote, Gregor Streng (from Mayflower) and me moved to a hotel downtown San Francisco, directly at the Union Square, to have 3 more days of enjoying San Francisco itself (since the Conference took place in a town near SFO airport: Burlingame). We had 3 fantastic days in "the City" and did lot's of sight seeing, like flying over SF with a helicopter, touring to Sausalito with a bike, going out for party with Sterling, and much more. Just to make you curious, here just a few of the amazing pictures we took:

All in all it was an amazing trip and I love San Francisco, it's flair, the people and the whole city. I will definitly come back one day... Hopefully this is next year for another Zend/PHP Conference and Expo. Thanks so much for bringing me there!!! :)
